I just setup a new box running RH7.2 and I am trying to compile kernel 
2.4.18. I did a minimal install on this box as it is only going to function as a router. When I 
initially did a 'make menuconfig' it gave me an error regarding ncurses 
being missing. I installed ncurses, ncurses4, and ncurses-devel. Now when 
I do a 'make menuconfig' I get the following output:

[root@localhost linux]# make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE  
-I/usr/include/ncurses -DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>" -c -o checklist.o 
checklist.c
checklist.c: In function `dialog_checklist':
checklist.c:154: `TRUE' undeclared (first use in this function)
checklist.c:154: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
checklist.c:154: for each function it appears in.)
checklist.c:241: `FALSE' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[1]: *** [checklist.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
[root@localhost linux]#

Can anyone shed some light on what's going on. I could just use 'make 
config' but it's so time consuming and on most of my boxes I upgrade 
kernels quite often. Thanks in advance and i apologize if I'm looking in 
the wrong place for solutions. -peel

Messages says lxdialog is bad, probably because of a problem
with ncurses
I have:
/lib/libncurses.so.5    -> libncurses.so.5.4
/lib/libncurses.so.5.4

/usr/lib/libncurses.a
/usr/lib/libncurses.so  -> /lib/libncurses.so.5
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5   ->   libtermcap.so

/usr/include/ncurses.h   -> curses.h
/usr/include/ncurses_dll.h
/usr/include/curses.h

I don't see any other ncurses lib's or headers

System ia64 (zx2000) running Debian 2.4.19
trying to build 2.4.25 from debian kernel-source-2.4.25
    with kernel-patches-2.4.25-ia64
Also have
/lib/libc-2.3.2.so
/lib/libc.so.6.1  -> libc-2.3.2.so

I tried removing /usr/lib/libncurses.a as it is not part of the
ncurses5 package but did not make a difference
The message also suggests that you can rebuild lxdialog
by cd'ing to /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog and
running make clean all
This will never work as HOSTGCC is not defined unless make
is run in /usr/src/linux

Iwould appreciate any help or suggestions.
