I had libcurses problems when I tried to compile an application (pine 4.31 I think, can't remember). What I had to do was:
cd /lib ln -sf libncurses.so.5.0 libncurses The compile/link was looking for "libncurses" and there was none. The symb link created by the above ln command worked. -=[cwa]=- --- Christopher W.
