What particular Unix platform is this on? Usually the underlying Unix platform at least has to provide termcap or termlib and not just the run-time libraries, but also the headers, etc. I guess you are running a Linux distribution where the development packages for termcap and/or termlib are not installed, right? Please have a look at the OpenPKG platform prerequisites in http://cvs.openpkg.org/getfile/openpkg-re/osprereq.txt, too. Ralf S.
