[Gluster-devel] Bug Reports

[Gordan Bobic]

Guys,

If you thought this was a weird error, the solution seems to be even 
weirder. I just updated the kernel from the RHEL5.2 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 
to vanilla 2.6.24.7, and the fuse packages (including the kernel module) 
from the previous 2.7.3glfs10 to 2.7.4glfs11, and now ncurses works. So 
either a bug fix somewhere between the two has resolved this issue, or 
it has somehow shifted the error condition so it's not longer triggering.

Either way, curses now seems to work! Both the kernel "make menuconfig" 
and nVidia driver installer now work happily. :)

It would be nice to know what fixed it, though.
