Description John Ottander 2003-01-12 00:45:45 UTC 
I have re-emerge ncurses but it still fails. 
Using vanilla-sources.


rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/scripts/lxdialog'
/bin/sh: line 1: gcc: command not found

>> Unable to find the Ncurses libraries.
>>
>> You must have Ncurses installed in order
>> to use 'make menuconfig'

make[1]: *** [ncurses] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

try this before you do anything:

env-update
source /etc/profile
Comment 2 John Ottander 2003-01-12 11:16:04 UTC 
that fixed it
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-01-12 11:46:52 UTC 
fyi, it was a gcc problem not kernel/ncurses ;) 
 
just pointing this out because i got in a big arguement with someone over this error ;)
