[hanumant]

Hi i am a newbie. I have a f7 distro. I wanted to work on development so wanted to install and build seperate kenel .I followed the steps on the fedora wiki. However after running make oldconfig when i run
make menuconfig it gives me the following errors

HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.o
In file included from scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/checklist.c:24:
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/dialog.h:32:20: error: curses.h: No such file or directory

.......

what should i do . I saw something on some post regarding ncurses to solve the problem. so when i do rpm -q ncurses-5.6-6.20070303.fc7 it says
[root@localhost linux]# rpm -q ncurses-5.6-6.20070303.fc7
ncurses-5.6-6.20070303.fc7

what should i do?

Try installing ncurses-devel...
