The section on building ones own kernel seems to no longer be in the install documentation or otherwise in the wiki and my memory is missing details. Google dredged up a copy of the older document. I've installed all the pieces I could find but none of the usual ways of modifying .config will work. Make menuconfig is missing curses.h. Other parts are missing from make xconfig. yum whatprovides has nothing to do. I really want to build the kernel module to read my hpfs partitions. I suppose I could ignore the warnings and just edit .config. Is there a new method that I haven't found the button box for or What?

I suspect "yum install ncurses-devel" will give you curses.h, though I don't know why "yum whatprovides curses.h" doesn't work (it doesn't work on my system either).

yum whatprovides /usr/include/curses.h

Yes, you're right, ncurses-devel provides curses.h
[manu@Arbusto ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/include/curses.h ncurses-devel-5.5-19
Cheers Manuel.

Which distro are you using? Your package manager "should" drag in all of the necessary pieces, you would think. In the "Good Ole" days you did get everything you needed. God only knows what some folks are thinking nowadays.
I catch all kinds of crap on the Fedora list for using Lonnie's NVidia drivers (which makes GL work) instead of the defacto nvidia driver included in the distro (which doesn't) so it all beats the hell outa me. I also install Firefox and Java straight from the horses mouth, and they both work very well. I guess I'm not politically "sensitive".
As Rosanne Rosannadana would say, "Never mind."

yum whatprovides */curses.h
or similar should work ... if you happen to know the location of the file use the full path to it. although one usually doesn't when searching like this.

Ha! I thought I was in my batch of Linux-Users mail list. Funny that curses.h is installed on my machine installed from a fresh FC7 install. Owell! Glad to see you're still keeping 'em inline 'round thses parts Manuel! Have you given any more talks lately that can be dnloaded?? Good stuff! Ric

I never ever should showed you that talk in english, you're always laughing at me! I would love to see you giving a talk in spanish! HA! Got you! I did my best, trust me, mate!
Anyways, I gave some talks during the summer but in spanish, and so far not available to download! I'll keep you informed!
And regarding to the curses.h issue, it is strange, I got ncurses and ncurses-devel, too, no need to install it by hand!Mistery
All the best, Manuel
