I use Debian 7.4 Wheezy. I trying to upgrade my kernel, but when I type "make menuconfig" it says:
*** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
*** required header files.
*** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
***
*** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.
***
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
I trying to install "libncurses5-dev", but I get the error:
E: Unable to locate package libncurses5-dev
P.S.
I downloaded and installed the packages manually and now everything is okay!
Thanks a lot!!
You should have run (as root)
aptitude update
aptitude search libncurses
that would suggest you the right package name.
Then try
aptitude install libncurses-dev
and
aptitude install kernel-package
aptitude build-dep linux-image linux-image-amd64
At last, use make-kpkg --initrd binary to compile your kernel. (it will produce *.deb files in the parent directory). You want to configure /etc/kernel-pkg.conf and perhaps /etc/kernel-img.conf
I had the same problem. In my case installation of package libncursesw5-dev solved the issue.
make menuconfig needs ncurses libraries try following command to install ncurses library
sudo apt-get install libncurses5
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
make menuconfig
worked for me after i installed all the libaries, and added myself sudo permission, i was also using this to cross_compile stuff
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
%b37399 ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
For Fedora(Red Hat);
$ make menuconfig
#error encountered :
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/Makefile:210: scripts/kconfig/mconf-cfg] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:588: menuconfig] Error 2
#resolution :
$ sudo yum install libncurses-dev
Thanks
Depending on the project the menuconfig could be made with the kconfiglib library:
https://pypi.org/project/kconfiglib/
For these projects it's required to:
Install Python (I tested it with Python2.7, but I think newer Pythons are just fine)
Install pip (if it's not done with Python)
And then the pip install kconfiglib
And for some projects, this will fix the error instead of the libcurses package.
Just as example here is one kconfiglib based project which prints the same error, but will not be fixed with libcurse:

How to install Petite Chez Scheme on Ubuntu?
I run Ubuntu 15.10 and try to install pcsv8.4-a6le.tar.gz (non-threaded, 64 bit) for Linux.
After having unpacked this tar in /usr/locale, I enter the commands
sudo ./configure
sudo make install
from within the custom directory.
However, instead of a clean install, I get the following errors (which I hope someone can help me out with):
nlykkei#nlykkei-Studio-XPS-1640:/usr/local/csv8.4/custom$ sudo make install
if [ yes = no ]; then if [ ! -f ./scheme ]; then /bin/rm -f ./scheme; ln -s ../bin/a6le/scheme ./scheme; fi; fi
if [ ! -f ./petite ]; then /bin/rm -f ./petite; ln -s ./scheme ./petite; fi
/bin/rm -f ./scheme

On recent versions of Ubuntu (and future versions of Debian e.g. "Buster", and other Debian based distros), you can install Chez Scheme directly from the repo(s) by:
sudo apt install chezscheme
Previously you had to install it by compiling from source. Chez Scheme has been open source, for a few years now, and can be compiled from source, if it is not directly installable from the distribution's repo(s). Just download the source code compile and install. This will install not just the "petite" runtime version but also the full compiler. You can compile and install the software with:
./configure
sudo make install
Full build and install instructions are available here.
Pre-requisites for building are:
GNU Make
GCC
Header files and libraries for ncurses
Header files and libraries for X windows
On Ubuntu, install the libncurses5-dev package to get libncurses.so. (You can discover this by visiting http://packages.debian.org/file:libncurses.so (sadly, this doesn't seem to work for http://packages.ubuntu.com/file:libncurses.so).)
You may find other linkage errors if Chez requires other libraries to have development packages installed too. Use the same technique as above.
Go directly building from their Github.
ChezScheme
And then just do
./configure
sudo make install
Prerequisites according to Building are:
GNU Make
gcc
Header files and libraries for ncurses
Header files and libraries for X windows
And yes in case On Ubuntu, install the libncurses5-dev as Chris stated. Did just that and have no errors shown in clean install.
Chez Scheme has been open sourced since this question was asked. Since Bionic (18.04LTS) the full chezscheme is available as a repository.
First do
sudo apt update
then install the package:
sudo apt install chezscheme
This provides both the petite interpreter and the full scheme compiler.
There is also a PPA for trusty and xenial here:
https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/lisp?field.series_filter=
Download the RPM package instead and use alien from terminal to produce a deb file:
fakeroot alien PetiteChezScheme-8.4-1.x86_64.rpm
You may need to install fakeroot, alien for this to work:
apt-get install fakeroot alien
Then you'll have a deb file. If you are on a desktop you can just double click the file and it will open Software Center and you can click install and it will fix your dependency problems.
I have Installed libncurses for menuconfig and try to run the command but i am getting an
Error :
-support/linux-3.14.43+gitAUTOINC+875c69b2c3-g875c69b> make menuconfig
* Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the

*** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
*** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.
make[1]: * [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1

but I am able to configure for ti-sdk-am335x-evm-06.00.00.00 and run $ make uImage but in case of ti-processor-sdk-linux-am335x-evm-01.00.00.03 getting error is as mentioned.
I have tried :
Try the various interfaces for configuring the kernel.
host$ make menuconfig
host$ make xconfig
host$ make gconfig
I had to run the following to get these to work.
host$ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
host$ sudo apt-get install qt3-dev-tools
host$ sudo apt-get install libglade2-dev
but it didnt work.
Thanks
Try running the make menuconfig in a shell that does not have the cross-compilation environment setup. That way the menuconfig will use the host's ncurses libraries that #Michi mentions. I had the same problem while working with Yocto and trying to do an out-of-tree kernel build with a Yocto built SDK (using populate_sdk).
I was trying to follow this guide: https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/blob/master/machine/kvm_x86_64/INSTALL but have gotten stuck.
On this line: make MACHINE=kvm_x86_64 all, I get stg: command not found when it is trying to apply a patch. I get Error 127 on a make command. Here's the output:
I have g++ and git installed. What am I doing wrong?
From the ONIE project wiki Building ONIE:
For a Debian-based system, a Makefile target exists that installs the required packages on your build machine. The ONIE project will maintain this target for the current stable version of Debian. This target requires the use of sudo(8), since package installation requires root privileges:
$ cd build-config
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ make debian-prepare-build-host
I built this on Ubuntu Desktop 15.04. For anyone else trying to build ONIE virtual machine, install these packages first:
Packages
qemu-kvm
git
stg
gperf
bison
flex
autoconf
texinfo
gawk
libtool
libtool-bin
libncurses5-dev
libexpat1
libexpat1-dev
python2.7-dev
python3.4-dev
xorriso
You can install most of these with sudo apt-get install <package>. You should be able to follow the ONIE guide now and set it up. Thanks to EtanReisner for all the help!
On Ubuntu, install stg package by,
sudo apt-get install stgit
the error stg: command not found should be resolved.
I wish to install redis on my red-hat environment. I do the following:
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make
I got the next error:
make[3]: *** [net.o] Error 127
make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/redis-stable/deps/hiredis'
make[2]: *** [hiredis] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/redis-stable/deps'
make[1]: [persist-settings] Error 2 (ignored)
CC adlist.o
/bin/sh: cc: command not found
make[1]: *** [adlist.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/redis-stable/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2
How can I fix it?
You are trying to install redis from source code. What this process do is to compile and create executable on your machine and then install it. For doing this you need various tools like gcc etc. Best way is to install all of them together by installing that group. Run this from terminal
yum grouplist
This will show all groups available and then choose group you want to install or run directly
yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'
This will save you from other problems which might come in future while installing from source.
for those of you who encounter this error
check this github issue
before make run this command
$ cd deps; make hiredis lua jemalloc linenoise
Install build essential first
sudo apt-get install build-essential
then install the dependencies
cd deps
make hiredis lua jemalloc linenoise
If you're not an advanced user maybe it is not a good idea to install REDIS from the source.
Instead you should install a packaged version. For example on Fedora / Centos / RHEL:
sudo yum install redis
Come out from your extracted folder/Dir and remove the extracted redis-x.x.x folder with rm -rf redis-x.x.x
now again extract the redis folder with tar xzf redis-x.x.x.tar.gz
go to redis directory again and run the make or make test again. it works for me.
I'm installing valgrind now, until the ‘make install’ command it goes good.
The next command- ‘make regtest’ outputs the next error:
../../depcomp: line 689: exec: g++: not found
make[5]: *** [leak_cpp_interior.o] Error 127
make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/kbubuntu/valgrind-3.9.0/memcheck/tests'

make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/kbubuntu/valgrind-3.9.0/memcheck/tests'

make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kbubuntu/valgrind-3.9.0'
make: *** [check] Error 2
How can I solve it?
Thanks.
Short answer: Make from source.
How?
Uninstall the non working valgrind version with root rights (eg. sudo):
apt-get --purge valgrind
or
dpkg --remove valgrind
or
yum remove valgrind
Obtain sources from here.
Identify the latest version (for example 3.17.0)
Download sources : wget https://sourceware.org/pub/valgrind/valgrind-3.17.0.tar.bz2
Decompress archive tar xvf valgrind-3.17.0.tar.bz2
Go to uncompressed archive cd valgrind-3.17.0
Configure ./configure
Compile make
Install make install (with root rights, eg. sudo)
Note: very useful for Raspberry Pi 4 users - Default valgrind installation generate a lot of internal errors. See Valgrind reports hundreds of errors in Hello World program on RaspberryPi 4B
All major linux distributions will include valgrind in their repositories. You can find this on debian derived, apt based systems with:
apt search valgrind
But first just try:
apt install valgrind
It should work, and pull in any dependencies. Remember, if you are not the superuser, you'll need to preface those with sudo.
It's a great tool, have fun.
i think its due to dependency not met.
install g++
by
sudo apt-get install g++
then try again.
error is due to exec is unable to find any package named g++
When trying to install Valgrind in Ubuntu 20.04, you can use apt or snap (notice the version number):
:~/valgrind-3.18.1$ valgrind
Command 'valgrind' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo snap install valgrind # version 3.18.1, or sudo apt install
valgrind # version 1:3.15.0-1ubuntu9.1
Although snap provides the latest version, I preferred to install it natively by compiling the source code following the #g10guang instructions.
