		I tried typing the easier to use "make menuconfig" and got
				errors as noted:

[root at localhost linux]# make menuconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/richard/linux/scripts/lxdialog'
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 
>> 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 `/home/richard/linux/scripts/lxdialog'
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2  
	

		then I tried using "make xconfig" and got errors aswell...

[root at localhost linux]# make xconfig
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts kconfig.tk
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/richard/linux/scripts'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -c -o tkparse.o tkparse.ctkparse.c:48: stdio.h: No such file or directory
tkparse.c:49: stdlib.h: No such file or directory
tkparse.c:50: string.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [tkparse.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/richard/linux/scripts'
make: *** [xconfig] Error 2
[root at localhost linux]#

		What am I supposed to try now.  I even tried going through all
the "make config" crap and did a "make dep" and still got errors...

Please help.....
