tputs not found

Hi, I'm fairly new to programming in SuSE Linux. At first I'm trying to compile speech_tools from Festival under SuSE 9.3, but ./configure fails with: checking for tputs in -ltermcap... (cached) no checking for tputs in -lncurses... (cached) no I have ncurses_devel installed and the libs are linked to /usr/lib: /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1 /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2 /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8 Should tputs() be in those libs (and in general, how can I check the functions in a library)?
