How do I find what a source package depends on?
I'm trying to compile pine 4.10 and having problems. The build fails with
ld: cannot open -lncurses: No such file or directory
I'm trying to work out if I'm missing a required library before reporting
it as a bug, but there doesn't seem to be any way to find out what a
source package depends on, and pine being pine, there isn't a binary
package to check.
(for the pine problem) These are the ncusrses stuff I have:
