Ah, thanks for that piece of information. I installed 
ncurses-base_5.4-4_all.deb (which I had actually downloaded on some 
previous occasion) and was then able to run zile successfully. Thanks! :-)



zile should add it to the Depends field.

I'll mention it to the packager.

One item I'm curious about though: is an install of 'libncurses' ever 
useful *without* a corresponding install of `ncurses-base`? I ask this 
because I'd installed 'libncurses' previously to satisfy some other 
package's requirements, but I'm not sure if I had ever exercised it.


Anyway, thanks again for the help.

--Phil.

P.S. I didn't mention vi *once*! ;-D

Hi,

Thanks for the Zile package, Danny.

Untested. Built for IT2006.

Unfortunately on 2006.1 I get the following error when I try to run it
(either via ssh or with X Terminal on the device itself):

  Error opening terminal: xterm-color.

I Googled around for possible solutions but didn't see anything
immediately obvious that worked for me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Phil.

Usually it seems to say Incompatible package if the package
Section is something else than user.  Those packages you
can install from the command line with dpkg -i.

But bear in mind that if one is trying to install something lots of
people have already installed (xterm in this case) it's probably more
likely to actually be the wrong package--and who knows how
kludgy-fixes would break things. :-)
