Building 2.5 kernels on 8.0

Hi. Tried this on another SuSE list, with no response. Maybe here will be better. Having a devil of a time building a 2.5 kernel on SuSE 8.0. Ok, call me crazy, but if you are still reading... $ make xconfig [....] make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/kconfig scripts/kconfig/qconf * * Unable to find the QT installation. Please make sure * that the * QT development package is correctly installed and the * QTDIR * environment variable is set to the correct location. * make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/.tmp_qtcheck] Error 1 make: *** [scripts/kconfig/qconf] Error 2 I tried mucking with scripts/kconfig/qconf, which got me nowhere $ make menuconfig [...] make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/kconfig scripts/kconfig/mconf make[1]: `scripts/kconfig/mconf' is up to date. make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/lxdialog gcc -Wp,-MD,scripts/lxdialog/.checklist.o.d -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE -DCURSES_LOC="" -c -o scripts/lxdialog/checklist.o scripts/lxdialog/checklist.c In file included from scripts/lxdialog/checklist.c:24: scripts/lxdialog/dialog.h:29: curses.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [scripts/lxdialog/checklist.o] Error 1 make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2 fixing the scripts/lxdialog/Makefile.build to use got me to a wad of compiler errors concerning dialog.h and checklist.c Anyone got good tips on this one?
