scripts/kconfig/Makefile:202: recipe for target 'scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog' failed
make[1]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1
Makefile:520: recipe for target 'menuconfig' failed
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 2

How to Solve:

1. Check out .bashrc

2… Solve according to the error: apt-get install ncurses-devel , again with the error.

E: Unable to locate package ncurses-devel

3. The above reason is because the system lacks libncurses library, so install it: sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev

4. Make menuconfig again, successfully: sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev
