| |
I am getting the following error when i try to run make menuconfig on a redhat 5.2 system that has all the needed file versions from the changes file in the documentation for the 2.2.6 kernel.
There seems to be a problem with the lxdialog companion utility which is
built prior to running Menuconfig. Usually this is an indicator that you have upgraded/downgraded your ncurses libraries and did not remove the old ncurses header file(s) in /usr/include or /usr/include/ncurses.
It is VERY important that you have only one set of ncurses header files and that those files are properly version matched to the ncurses libraries installed on your machine.
You may also need to rebuild lxdialog. This can be done by moving to the /usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog directory and issuing the "make clean all" command.
If you have verified that your ncurses install is correct, you may email
the maintainer <mec@shout.net> or post a message to <linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu> for additional assistance.
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 139
There have been no changes to the ncurses on this system and i can run make menuconfig on 2.2.5 without any problems. i currently have ncurses 4.2 on my system. i did try to do the make clean all as the message suggests to do.
I have found that if you take the file : /usr/src/linux-2.2.6/scripts/lxdialog/lxdialog and replace it with the file: /usr/src/linux-2.2.5/scripts/lxdialog/lxdialog you can get make menuconfig on 2.2.6 to work.
I hope I have given you enough information to work on this problem and if i can be of assistance please email me back.
