On a Redhat 5.1 system, "/usr/include/curses.h" is provided by the "ncurses-devel" package.

I get this output when I try to run 'make menuconfig':
rm -f include/asm

Anyone know what rpm package contains this?  I've copied the
/usr/src/linux-2.2.12-20 directory into /usr/src/linux-2.2.12-smn and
compiled a kernel last night using xconfig.  And xconfig won't work now
either.

Clues?
