you should send the link comand you were trying to use. here is what works
on this redhat 4.2 system:
g++ -g -o win {a bunch of .o files} -lncurses -ltermcap
note: i'm using g++, gcc will work the same for your C program.
note2: the '-g' flag is for debug info. the '-o win' flag is to make the
resulting exectuable be named 'win'.
note3: i assume your ncurses came with your system, and thus is installed
in a directory that by default is being looked for by your compiled (e.g.
/lib, /usr/lib and so on). if it does not work, you should search for
ncurses on your system:
find / -name 'libncurses.*' -ls
and then add the directory in which the library is found to the link
command, like this:
gcc .... -L/path/to/where/the/ncurses/lib/is/found -lncurses -ltermcap
if this still does not work, please send me your exact full link command,
and the exact error mesasges you get (if there are plenty - compress the
log before sending it), and i'll see if i could hepl.
hope this helps,
guy
