I am trying to use a freeware ballistics program and unable to configure it due to a missing library...though it would appear that I do have such a library on my system.
The program was a tar.gz and so has to be manually configured as opposed to using YaST. On un-compressing and entering console to type # ./configure the following output was obtained: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/saballistics-1.3.2> ./configure checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3 checking for linuxdoc... false checking for main in -lm... yes checking for main in -lncurses... no configure: error: ncurses library is required [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/saballistics-1.3.2> My SuSE system does have ncurses 5.4.65 installed under system/libraries as well as yast2-ncurses under system/YaST so I don't know why the program cannot find the library..or is it the wrong flavour of ncurses on my system? Any suggestions welcomed.
