error message relating to tgetnum
Hi all,
While building gpsim, I've been getting the error message:
/usr/local/lib/libreadline.so: undefined reference to `tgetnum'
Specifically:

I believe the variables I'm missing have to do with termcap, which was
replaced by terminfo, which was replaced by ncurses.
One site I found suggests that although terminfo has been replaced by
ncurses, ncurses doesn't use the variable "UP". So I guess I need both
terminfo and ncurses.
I can't find any Debian packages that has terminfo or termcap in their names.
I've gone and installed everything remotely related to ncurses, but
the tgetnum error persists.
It seems that various people online building different projects are
having trouble with "undefined reference to `tgetnum'", so I doubt
it's specific to the package I'm building.
Any information on how to get rid of the tgetnum error would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Maria
