Hey Gareth, To help ld find the library, assuming it's not somewhere like /usr/lib, you need to either add a -L <path/to/pdcurses/lib>
so it can find the library. I believe you can also do -l /path/to/pdcurses/lib/libpdcurses.a and it will work correctly as well. I hope that helps.

The irrefutable proof of this is that the computer always does what you tell it to do. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Food fight?
