We have progress - thanks very much for the help

I installed the kernel headers with no change

I did a apt-get install libc6-dev

and got this when I ran make menuconfig:

dev2:/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.6# make menuconfig
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

>> Unable to find the Ncurses libraries.

make[2]: *** [scripts/lxdialog/ncurses] Error 1
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2


I did a apt-cache search ncurses-devel and got nothing
so I ran a apt-cache search lncurses which pointed to termcap-compat which
seemed odd but I installed it anyway with no change

I supose this is what happens when you start off with minimalist installs?

thanks again

Mark

/usr/include/sys/types.h (and most of the others) are part of libc6 (aka
glibc2). Check if this file exists. If it doesn't, then you need to get
the libc headers from somewhere. With debian, that's usually a -dev
package (libc6-dev I believe). For Gentoo it's sys-libs/glibc.
