Or (more likely) the OP has *only* the i386 (or only the x86_64)
versions of the termcap libraries, when he should have both the i386
AND the x86_64 versions:
sauron.deepsoft.com% rpm -q --queryformat
"%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n" libtermcap
libtermcap-2.0.8-46.1.x86_64
libtermcap-2.0.8-46.1.i386
One should not need the -devel versions unless one is building
something.
