I think that I have found a problem in the make. The config ends up saying that conio uses -lcurses whereas it appears that termcap.h is actually found in ncurses so that I think it should have use -lncurses in the make.
The make of conio fails because it can not find termcap.h which causes a whole lot of things to crap out in the compile. The make of conio fails but the make continues along to a succesfull conclusion which probably results in a bconsole that has trouble processing its food. How do I get ncurses to be the source of termcap et al. Can I tell config about this somehow or put a link to ncurses someplace that configure and make can find it. I have never dissected a configure and Makefile before but I can see why Ant is so popular!!! bconsole doing -? is what is says. Then I have to reboot. If I am quick I get to grap another virtual tty and do a shutdown, if not its the old reset button and complaints about file checking being required.

Can you post the exact output of running ./bconsole -? please, because the word "doing" doesn't appear in my bconsole binary at all. Which Linux kernel version is this (e.g. output of uname -a)? __Martin ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
