This sounds like you did not install the standard 'C development' packages. In particular, you don't have the standard include files on your system. Based on this, I'd recommend you grab your installation CD and install the appropriate 'C Development' packages. Take a look at the RedHat "comps" file for package suggestions, as I have no idea what you might be missing. -derek "Dan Fadayomi" <dfadayomi at hotmail.com> writes: > This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > > ------=_NextPart_000_0033_01C023E2.0ADB5020 > Content-Type: text/plain; > charset="iso-8859-1" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > All- > > I'm new to the linux world, and am having an issue with running: > > 1.make menuconfig and 2.make xconfig > > For make menuconfig , the book I'm reading told me I needed to install = > ncurses-devel.
