Hi Veterans,

I am trying to upgrade my debian kernel
1> First I downloaded gcc
2>now I am trying to download libncurses5-dev

death:/usr/src/linux-2.6.31.6# apt-get install libncurses5-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package libncurses5-dev

so I downloaded it from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/
unzipeed it to /usr/src/linux-2.6.31.6

now when I am trying to use make menuconfig I am receiving following error

death:/usr/src/linux-2.6.31.6# make menuconfig
*** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
*** required header files.
*** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
***
*** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.
***
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2


Please help me to resolve this error and when I am trying to do the same in
rhel5 I am able to use it

Thanks and regards

It's now libncurses6-dev . But you could have tried libncurses-dev .
