[PATCH v3] kconfig: be more helpful if pkg-config is missing

From: Alyssa Ross
Date: Tue Nov 05 2019 - 10:08:30 EST


If ncurses is installed, but at a non-default location, the previous
error message was not helpful in resolving the situation. Now it will
suggest that pkg-config might need to be installed in addition to
ncurses.

Apologies -- was a little too hasty in sending v2, and it only
included the updated message in one of the two files that needed to be
changed.
