everything is okay! Thanks a lot!! linux ubuntu kernel debian upgrade share|improve this question edited Oct 30 '15 at 18:42 Veerendra 12915 asked Apr 14 '14 at 0:36 ValeriRangelov 160119 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 5 down vote accepted You should have run (as root) aptitude update aptitude search libncurses that would suggest you the right package name. Then try aptitude install libncurses-dev and aptitude install kernel-package aptitude build-dep linux-image linux-image-amd64 At last, use make-kpkg --initrd binary to compile your kernel. (it will produce *.deb files in the parent directory). You want to configure /etc/kernel-pkg.conf and perhaps /etc/kernel-img.conf share|improve this answer edited Apr 14 '14 at 14:36 answered Apr 14 '14 at 5:35 Basile Starynkevitch 123k895203 i libncurses5 - shared libraries for terminal handling i libncursesw5 - shared libraries for terminal handling I get the same error after these commands..

Member Hi All, I trying to compile a new kernel on a fresh installed Debian Etch (test) system which came with 2.6.17-2. I need the new kernel to be 2.6.9... I am following this how-to guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_linux_kernel_2.6_compile_debian After running make menuconfig I get the following error: Code: debian:/usr/src/linux# make menuconfig HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep /bin/sh: gcc: command not found make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 127 make: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2 debian:/usr/src/linux# uname -a Linux debian 2.6.17-2-686 #1 SMP Wed Sep 13 16:34:10 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux * Based on the output above it seems like I am missing GCC package or something. But, I think the how-to first command installs this. Any thoughts on what this problem could be. Thanks in advance for any help! FYI: I am new with linux this is my first few attempts to building a system. Apologies for obvious problem I should perhaps know about. -Joe joelee, Jan 10, 2007 #1 joelee New Member Per last post by me, I come to find out that first step of how-to: http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_linux_kernel_2.6_compile_debian is missing some options that should install GCC package. I found this other similar how-to: http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_debian That has options that installs GCC... Falko, perhaps you can update document! See below: 1st how-to: apt-get install kernel-package ncurses-dev fakeroot wget bzip2 2nd how-to: apt-get install kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot wget bzip2 build-essential udev After running second command all seems to work for me now. -Joe joelee, Jan 10, 2007 #2 joelee New Member New error problem compiling new kernel. I am now running into this error when compiling new kernel. Would appreciate any help with fixing this problem. Below is partial error output: After running cmd (as per how-to debian-kernel-compile_2.6): make-kpkg clean fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image (of course, I have change --revision= to my ke
