libncurses.a

["George M. Butler" <butler@tcainternet.com>]

Hi all,

I  installed Debian 2.2 r2 about 2 weeks ago and  am trying to do the
Linux From
Scratch project  and trying to
install bash ( basically the first step ).
I need to find the file whose name is  libncurses.a    but cannot find
it.   It
is suppose to be in either the
directory /usr/lib/  or the directory /lib/   but it is not there.   As
root I
ran

find  / -name  libncurses.a  -print

but came up empty.  Can anyone shed light  on this file.  I assume
Debian did
not install it.  Thanks for
any help.

George
