Cannot compile anything

["Nicole M. Rauch" <nicole m gmx de>]

Hello everybody,

I've just installed RH 6.1, but it doesn't compile anything! 
Admittedly, I installed RH with custom install, perhaps I missed a 
package?

If I e.g. try to build a new kernel and type "make menuconfig" in 
/usr/src/linux, I get

rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
make -C scripts/lxdialog all
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.2.12/scripts/lxdialog'
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DLOCALE 
-DCURSES_LOC="<
curses.h>"   -c lxdialog.c -o lxdialog.o
In file included from lxdialog.c:22:
dialog.h:22: sys/types.h: No such file or directory
dialog.h:23: fcntl.h: No such file or directory
dialog.h:24: unistd.h: No such file or directory
dialog.h:25: ctype.h: No such file or directory
dialog.h:26: stdlib.h: No such file or directory
dialog.h:27: string.h: No such file or directory
dialog.h:29: curses.h: No such file or directory
lxdialog.c:53: locale.h: No such file or directory

If I try to compile other programs, I get similar error msgs (none of 
the included headers is found). But I can see all of the header files 
in /usr/src/linux/include/linux !
I've already tried to add the include path with -I<path> and 
-L<path>, to no avail.
The packages kernel-headers, kernel-source and egcs are installed.

What am I missing here?

Thanks a lot for any help!

Nicole
