本人所用的linux内核是linux-2.6.18_pro500，在用如下命令编译Busybox时

make menuconfig

出现fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory错误，如下所示

scripts/kconfig/mconf.c: In function ‘exec_conf’:
scripts/kconfig/mconf.c:481:2: warning: ignoring return value of ‘pipe’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
pipe(pipefd);

compilation terminated.

make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
Makefile:443: recipe for target 'menuconfig' failed
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

原因：出现该错误的原因是在使用menuconfig时，需要ncurses库的支持。

解决办法：sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

再次运行make menuconfig即可进入内核配置的图像界面
