While building the latest kernel source 2.6.17 on my laptop under debian I was getting the error “make[1]: *** [scripts/basic/fixdep] Error 1″. I fixed this issue by install ibc6-dev and the libncurses5-dev packages. For some reason I remeber it actually complaining about ncurses before when it didnt have these installed. It is not very clear now when this is missing, so I thought this might help out some people.
