I'm attempting to build Finch (interactive textual front-end to libpurple) from the Pidgin 2.3.1 source tarball using this command:
MSGFMT=`which msgfmt` ./configure --disable-gtkui --disable-gstreamer --disable-perl --prefix=$HOME/local/ --enable-gnutls=yes --enable-consoleui -with-x=no -with-gnutls-includes=/usr/local/include/ -with-gnutls-libs=/usr/local/lib/ --with-ncurses-headers=/usr/include/ The configure script goes fine up until about here: checking for X... disabled checking for initscr in -lncursesw... no checking for update_panels in -lpanelw... no checking for initscr in -lncurses... yes checking for update_panels in -lpanel... no configure: error: Finch will not be built. You need to install ncursesw (or ncurses) and its development headers. bash-3.2$ ls /usr/include/ncurses.h /usr/include/ncurses.h I see there's an ncurses header on the base system. I've looked through the package list. The three ncurses packages I find are PHP or Ruby packages. Is what I'm trying to do here not supported by the base system nor packages?
