I have just installed glibc on my linux box that has kernel 2.2.1. I
now wanted to recompile the kernel, cause I changed glibc after having
changed the kernel. Now I get all the time error messages, when I try
to run
make menuconfig
it says something that my curses.h causes problems.
Then I tried to reinstall glibc, because I thought this would solve
the problem, but even this installation stops now with an error.
The first errer could have been because I created a link
ln -s /usr/lib/g++include /usr/include/g++
but the source directory never existed. Could this have caused the
error??
Anybody has any idea what to do?

If you followed the HOWTO, then you probably moved all the ncurses and g++
headers out of the way. The best thing to do is install ncurses-3.4
(download from GNU) and libg++-2.7.2.8. use --prefix=/usr for both. Once
they are compiled and installed you should have what you need to recompile
the kernel. However, if you READ the documentation for 2.2.x kernels, it
specifically says that you should use glibc-2.0.7pre6 or newer if you are
going to use glibc as your primary library.

Read the Changes for the Kernel. You should use glibc-2.0.7-pre6 at least...
