not the best example of a question as i'm a hundred miles from my linux box right now, but...
i tried installing MySQL the other day, and configure stopped with the message "no curses" - the previous three or four lines of output were "looking for tgetenv" here and "looking for tgetenv" there... how can i tell if i've got no curses library, and can i just get the ncurses/libcurses package and install it without impacting on my system (which is Corel, which is, I think, Slink)?
