Hmmm... did you make sure to include the p option when extracting the stage tarball? What does the output of this command say?

| Seems VERY clear.. you need ncurses. |

Ncurses gets installed during part of stage 1, so it'll definitely be there by the time you compile the kernel, regardless of which stage you use. That's why I think it's a permissions issue...

Hmm.. I allways run make menuconfig as root so that's why I -didn't- think it was a permission issue.  |

Ah no, not that kind - I mean gcc not having any execute permissions at all... Which could happen if you just use tar -jxvf to unpack the tarball.

the command
ls -l /usr/bin/gcc
gives back:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6960 Jul 18 02:25 /usr/bin/gcc
i used the stage3 tarball. but had to reboot one time. but i mounted again and did emerge sync |

Hmmm... that looks right. How odd! Did you do env-update and source /etc/profile when you chrooted after rebooting? Try it now and see if it makes any difference.

i did env-update as well as source /env/profile, and i did it again, but still the same error.
@Maedhros
i did tar -xvjpf /mnt/cdrom/stages/stage3-install-x86-2004.2.tar.bz2 |

It looks like you've done everything right... did you check the iso of the tarball? Maybe it's somehow corrupted...

well started new at the beginning, but i think it was because i changed the chost variable against all warnings. so gcc was effected.
 sorry |

Just trying to install gentoo, and when "make menuconfig" is used, i get the error "make: *** No rule to make target 'menuconfig'. Stop"
I'm using vanilla-2.4.25, and the correct symlink is in "/usr/src/linux".
I want to know if uninstalling and reinstalling the kernel would help.
