This is what the compiler says (when trying to 'make' the ax25 utils):
make[1]: Entering directory `/etc/ax25-utils-2.1.42a/apps'

Ncurses is installed, in the proper spot.
I tracked down a copy of Xforms (tnx KE6DWM!) but RPM won't install
it (I won't bore you with details at this stage...).
Thomas reckons that's not the cause of the problem, so I have left it
for the moment.
It looks to me as if some header file hasn't been included. Any pointers
most welcome...I am well and truly stuck...
I am starting to wonder wether I do in fact need the ax25 utils. The
AX25 HOWTO says yes, but I see a lot of people are only installing
libax25, ax25-apps and ax25-tools (all of which compile and install OK).
