Cannot use make menuconfig *RESOLVED*
 

I get a longass list of errors. The last few lines are:
scripts/lxdialog/checklist.c:310: error: `KEY_RIGHT` undeclared (first use in this function)
scripts/lxdialog/checklist.c: At top level:
scripts/lxdialog/dialog.h:130: warning: array `attributes` assumed to have one element
make[2]: *** [scripts/lxdialog/checklist.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

Eh?

And how do I redirect error output to a file?

what happens with make xconfig?

Can't find my Qt installation, even though I've installed qt3-dev from apt.

are you using qt3-mt?

if this is kernel 2.6, try make gconfig instead of make xconfig

(it uses GTK instead of QT)

I believe the package you want to apt-get is xlibs-dev. This will enable you to make xconfig - or, at least, it was what was needed prior to the 2.6 kernel.

stderr is redirected in the following manner:

command 2>filename

"2" here means the command's stderr output.

BTW, bookmark http://wwwacs.gantep.edu.tr/linux/rute/node1.html - it kicks more ass than any unix tutorial in existence.

or maybe I'm full of crap and what you really need now is the package named libqt3.

Do you have ncurses installed? You need that to make 'menuconfig' to work.

make sure you have ncurses and ncurses-devel installed on your box.
