[Bug 246895] New: libcurses not provided
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246895 Summary: libcurses not provided Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth@novell.com ReportedBy: peter@plord.co.uk QAContact: qa@suse.de Linux uses ncurses, of course, but other UNIX systems use curses. At least some Linux distributions provide libcurses to provide better source code compatibility to other UNIX systems. Please provide libcurses, this is simply some sym links in the ncurses package. The work-around is :- # cd /usr/lib64 # ln -s libncurses.so.5.5 libcurses.so # ln -s libncursessw.so.5.5 libcursessw.so # ln -s libncurses.a libcurses.a -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

If you like to use libcurses use -I /usr/include/curses for compiling and -L /usr/lib/curses for linkage and for 64 bit architecture replace `lib' with `lib64'. Please note, that I'll never change this because it would break most stuff out there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
