This is your real problem.  Assuming that ncurses has been ported over to
mklinux, try doing a 'make clean' followed by a 'make ncurses'.  I assume
that if ncurses has been ported, it will probably reside in its new
location and you'll get a similar error message.  Probably your first task
will be to locate curses.h and/or ncurses.h.  You can use the find
command to do this: 'find / -name curses.h -print' (or ncurses.h)

I'm sure it's simply a matter of pointing the targets at the right
curses.h, and then you can have 2.7 up and running. :)  If you need any
more help, I'll do what I can.
