编译linux内核前用make menuconfig设置时 Unable to find the ncurses libraries的解决办法

我们在更新CentOS或者Ubuntu的内核时,执行make menuconfig可能看如这样的错误:

*** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
*** required header files.
*** ‘make menuconfig’ requires the ncurses libraries.
***
*** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.

根据错误报告是缺少Ncurses库,需要安装该库(Ncurses 提供字符终端处理库,包括面板和菜单)

详见ncures_百度百科

解决办法如下:
CentOS:
yum install -y ncurses-devel

Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev
