newest kernel compile problems

[khold]

I decided to edit my original post so I wouldn't have to start up new thread with similar topic. I am trying to compile the newest 2.2.18 kernel using Mandrake 7.2 (if that helps). I configured it using make xconfig, and then I got to the actual compile process. Whenever I try a make zimage or make bzimage the process will start, but after awhile the process will suddenly halt with an error message:

make[1]: as86: Command not found
make[1]: *** [bootsect.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory'/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [zImage] Error 2

Anyone have an idea what that could mean?

thanks

You need the ncurses development library, if you are using a rpm distro then look on your CD for something like ncurses-devel-blah.rpm and install it. Or you could try "make xconfig" and see if that works instead.
