I would like to upgrade the kernel to 2.4.21 in order to install prism3 usb wlan card. I download kernel 2.4.21 full source from kernel.org.
Afterwards, I did apt-get install gcc make g++ from testing source
once i makemenu config . It show an error about I missing Ncurses libraries. How do i fix this ?
sorry i'm a noob, plz explain in details
Thanks.

apt-get install ncurses (or something like that). There will probably be a few more things the kernel is dependant on too. Handle them the same, apt-get install name-of-thing-mentioned-in-error

I did apt-get install ncurses
package not found

so I try apt-get install libncures5 successfully
but I still can not compile kernel with same error msg
