Actually, I have installed "ncurses3.0" and "termcap-compat", and
successfully compile the program( bbs program, I also modify the library
must be linked). But when I execute the compiled program, segmentation
fault is happened. Then I turn to get a copy of "termcap.a" from the
machine installed RedHat, this time I can successfully run the program.
Anyone knows what's the problem ? Thanks a lot.
