10.4.1. Q: Why do I get, "newt.h not found," or "popt.h not found," several times when I try to install Mondo?

10.4.1. Q: Why do I get, "newt.h not found," or "popt.h not found," several times when I try to install Mondo?

A: You have not installed libnewt and/or libnewt-devel. Please do so. Check Related Linux Packages to see what Mondo requires and where you can get tarballs and RPM's. Make sure you are using the right version of newt/libnewt. Read the error messages carefully.

10.4.2. Q: Newt won't compile when I try. What's the problem?

A: You are probably missing popt.h, which newt needs to compile, it can be found in the 'popt' package. Check your distribution and see if they have popt, if not check Related Linux Packages to see where you can get it.

10.4.3. Q: I've just used up 6 CD-R, only to find that Mondo won't boot!

A: You should have used CD-RW. ;) In the HOWTO, it gives instructions on how to create a test CD (one, not six).

10.4.4. Q: Lots of packages, required by Mondo, are missing from my system. What do I do?

A: Install them. :) If you are using RPM or deb then you'll be told which packages you need. Mondo offers a lot of those packages on its Download web page.
