[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Kernel 2.6.16 menuconfig...

... does not work for me because ncurses does not get linked.

The linker flags are created in 
kernel-source-2.6.16/scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh 

The script tries to find the right lib to link by calling 
"gcc -print-file-name=...". On my Debian/testing host this works, but
in my Scratchbox/Maemo2b enviroment these tests come up emtpy.

ncurses IS installed though, since I can link it manually and also
menuconfig works for kernel 2.6.12. In fact I got 2.6.16 menuconfig to
work by just shortcutting the test in the script to echoing "-lncurses".

It was suggested here 
(http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0604.0/0050.html) that the 
problem might be due to wrong symlinks, but they looked okay to me (ie 
exactly as on the Debian host except for the "w" variants).

cheers,
Christian
