linux编译curses报错,Linux Error: curses.h: No such file or directory

在使用Fedora 7交叉编译μclinux时，当使用make

menuconfig 进行配置时会出现缺少curses.h的错误。错误如下：

make[1]: Entering directory

`/root/uClinux-dist/config/kconfig'

出现该错误的原因是在使用menuconfig时，需要ncurses库的支持，该库包含ncurses和ncurses-devel两个包，大部分情况ncurses包会跟随系统安装好，而ncurses-devel包根据安装系统时你的选择。可以使用如下命令查看他们有没有安装：

rpm -q

ncurses

rpm -q

ncurses-devel

如果安装好了，回显示：

ncurses-5.6-9.20070812.fc7

ncurses-devel-5.6-9.20070812.fc7

若没有安装，则使用yum命令进行安装(要求联网)：

yum

install ncurses

yum

install ncurses-devel

安装完成，问题解决。

若是在Ubuntu系统下，类似问题可以使用如下命令解决：

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

libncursesw5-dev
