Re: error message relating to tgetnum
Hi all,
I've been able to temporarily do:
export LDFLAGS=-lncurses
to make the error messages go away, and to build and install
successfully. The problem now is, I get segfault. I'll be trying to
use gdb to see what's wrong, although it looks quite involved.
It seems that I could've also done
export LDFLAGS=-ltermcap
but that would've been the same thing, because libtermcap was just a
symlink to ncurses.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Maria
