I am building hugs 1.4 (June 1998) on a Linux/Debian 2.0 system.
In order to use --with-readline I need to have termcap installed. I
want to use the ncurses library instead of termcap, since it provides
termcap emulation, and this saves me from having to install the
real termcap too.
Here is a patch to configure.in that, I think, checks for the presence
of ncurses, then for termcap and uses whichever it finds first. I
don't think it changes the behaviour in other cases (but this is the
first time I've played with autoconf and I haven't tried it out on any
other systems):
ncurses.patch
