You seem to have everything you need for 'make xconfig' but you have to tell the X server that it's ok for your client program (wish) to connect to it. Try 'export DISPLAY=:0' before 'make xconfig'.
If it still won't work and I guess it won't, you have to use command 'xhost + localhost' as the user that started X. This adds your host to the list of hosts that are allowed to connect to your X server. I assume that you didn't run X as root but did eg. 'su -' to gain root privileges. The problem with 'make menuconfig' is that although you have ncurses libraries and all the other ncurses stuff, you don't have ncurses3.0-dev package that has 'ncurses.h' in it. I guess you also have the package 'kernel-package' that contains helpful scripts etc. to make building kernels in Debian easier. If not, check that 'misc' sections in stable or unstable. // Heikki -- Heikki Vatiainen * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tampere University of Technology * http://www.cs.tut.fi/~hessu/ Tampere, Finland -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
