Thanks for the quick reply Nick.

Host system is Ubuntu 14.04. ncurses is already installed:

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libncurses5-dev is already the newest version.


Oh boy, I've seen this before. I seem to remember this being caused by a problem with the path setup or something in the environment and maybe not being able to find the scripts folder or reaching a wrong folder first.

How are you setting up your environment before invoking bitbake?

Were you using the ADT? If so check out cross compiling the kernel here: http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/SDK/Toolchain/Application_Developer_Toolkit

    Check to see if you actuality have it installed on your host system
    for your package manager.
    The library for ncurses for compiling the kernel is different based
    on your distro, check
    your distro's installer and install the correct ncurses package
    first. If this is still an
    issue please reply with a newer error message.
