Do you have a symbolic link in "/usr/lib/libncurses.so" pointing to "/lib/libncurses.so.5"? The file without the version number is the one that is picked up at link time, whereas the ones with the version numbers get picked up at runtime.
If you don't have the neccessary symbolic link, that might be a sign that you also don't have the rest of the development files. As I don't know which distribution you have, I can't tell you how to fix this (on Debian, you'd type "apt-get install libncurses5-dev") Markus [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I put this on the newbie list, but since it sees about as much traffic as an > ice-cream shop in a blizzard...I thought Id try here: > > > I was having problems with the rpms for my distro,so I decided to give the > source a try...make World went well after I installed the bison and flex that > I didnt see needed in the docs,anyhow it stalls on make install with: > > /usr/bin/ld : cannot find -lncurses > > so I check and I currently have in /lib: > > libncurses.so.1 > libncurses.so.1.9.9e > libncurses.so.3 > libncurses.so.3.0 > libncurses.so.4 > libncurses.so.4.2 > libncurses.so.5 > libncurses.so.5.0 > libncurses.so.5.2 > all of these point to the libncurses.so.5.2,and so I look back through the > def and cf files and host.def has the some distros dont have termcap, the > #define termcap blah blah -lncurses,so I comment it out,because I have > libtermcap.so.2 and .so.2.0.8 > and it still hangs in the same spot with the cannot find -lncurses......what > am I missing????? -- Markus Gutschke 3637 Fillmore Street #106 San Francisco, CA 94123-1600 +1-415-567-8449 [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
