Hi Jörg, all!

checking for termcap functions library... configure: error: No curses/termcap

I checked the /etc folder , there is a link to this library to
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Mar 23 2005 termcap -> /usr/share/misc/termcap
and the file is there :
stefan:/usr/share/misc # ll ter*

You do not say which platform you are using, all I can tell is that it
is some unix-style system.
Well, it does not matter too much. I assume it is some Linux, you have
to adapt my text to other platforms as needed.
On my machine (SuSE 9.1):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> file /usr/share/misc/termcap
/usr/share/misc/termcap: ASCII text
Try "more /usr/share/misc/termcap" to see that this is no library, it is
data (in plain ASCII text) describing TERMinal types and their CAPabilities.
Even if that were the library, it alone is not sufficient for compiling:
Do I need this somewhere else ?
Still on my machine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> rpm -qa | egrep 'term|curses'
terminfo-5.4-59
xtermset-0.5.2-118
ncurses-5.4-61.3
ncurses-devel-5.4-61.3
yast2-ncurses-2.9.26-0.3
What can I do ?
Install the "ncurses" and the "ncurses-devel" packages:
The first one contains the libraries (for linking and executing), the
second the corresponding header files (for compiling).
You may already have the first one installed, as it also contains that
"termcap" file.
The second one also contains manuals etc which you may not need, but the
header files are essential for compilation.
HTH,
Jörg
