I just setup a new box running RH7.2 and I am trying to compile kernel
2.4.18. I did a minimal install on this box as it is only going to function as a router. When I
initially did a 'make menuconfig' it gave me an error regarding ncurses
being missing. I installed ncurses, ncurses4, and ncurses-devel. Now when
I do a 'make menuconfig' I get the following output:

[root@localhost linux]# make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE
-I/usr/include/ncurses -DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>" -c -o checklist.o
checklist.c
checklist.c: In function `dialog_checklist':
checklist.c:154: `TRUE' undeclared (first use in this function)
checklist.c:154: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
checklist.c:154: for each function it appears in.)
checklist.c:241: `FALSE' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[1]: *** [checklist.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
[root@localhost linux]#

Can anyone shed some light on what's going on. I could just use 'make
config' but it's so time consuming and on most of my boxes I upgrade
kernels quite often. Thanks in advance and i apologize if I'm looking in
the wrong place for solutions. -peel
