You seem not to have the "curses" library installed. Try installing it
from your distribution. The kbuild system searches for libncursesw.so,
libncurses.so or libcurses.so, in that order. In your case it probably
can't find any (n)curses(w) package.

Re: PROBLEM: make menuconfig fails under 2.6.16

[Blue Fox]

Thank you for information.

I am using Linux from Scratch. NCURSES is part of the installation process. 
/usr/lib/libncurses.so is installed on the system. After analysing the 
problem I encountered that it has to be a link to /lib/libncurses.so.5 which 
is a link to libncurses.so.5.5.

The link in my /usr/lib was broken. After restoring it, build is working.
Thank you for help.

Ok, these library links are normally automatically created by running
'ldconfig'. You can always rerun this by hand at any time.

Anyway this is getting highly offtopic! And remember you can always use
"make config" or "make oldconfig" (if you had an earlier .config) to get
along even without "graphical" configurators. ;-)
