Hi I have been trying to compile a package called ftools on my debian P5-166. Initial problems with X libs were solved by installing xlib6-dev_3.2-6.deb, but now I have a problem with termcap. According to the FAQ on compatiblity one must replace all references to libtermcap with libncurses to get stuff to compile on debian. I have a two lines in the ftools makefile:
LIB_COMMON = -lcftools -lcfitsio -lftools -lxanlib -lfitsio \ -ltermcap -lpgplot LIBXSEL_COMMON = -L${FTOOLS_LIB} -lxron -lftools -lxanlib -lfitsio \ -ltermcap -lpgplot I have tried changing "-ltermcap" to "-lncurses", but get: ld: cannot open -lncurses: No such file or directory Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Matt. P.S. A quick thanks to the debian mailing list - it has been more helpful to me in the past than any commercial support service. -- ________________________________________________________________________ Matt Delaney E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Space Science & Advanced Materials tel: +353 1 706 2202 (work) Physics Dept. 497 7480 (home) University College Dublin fax: 283 7275 Belfield Dublin 4 IRELAND -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
