Do ./configure --help and look for the option to pass to configure, to tell it where the required library is located. Hopefully that will help configure to look in the right place for the library.

Hello:

I am trying to make Edinburgh Speech Tools in order to program a new voice for Festival.

To make the speech tools I need the libncurses library. I already installed it with the dev package. But still I get the following message:

Making in directory ./main ... gcc -O3 -Wall -o ch_lab ch_lab_main.o -L../lib -lestools -L../lib -lestbase -L../lib -leststring -lcurses -ldl -lm -lstdc++ -lgcc /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.2.1/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurses collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [ch_lab] Error 1 make: *** [main] Error 2

This is the output of ldconfig:

gabo@lila:~> /sbin/ldconfig -p | grep curs libncursesw.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libncursesw.so.5 libncursesw.so.5 (libc6) => /lib/libncursesw.so.5 libncursesw.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so libncursesw.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libncursesw.so libncurses.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib64/libncurses.so.5 libncurses.so.5 (libc6) => /lib/libncurses.so.5 libncurses.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libncurses.so libncurses.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libncurses.so libXcursor.so.1 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libXcursor.so.1 libXcursor.so.1 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1

Any suggestions? I've been hitting my head to a wall (not literally of course) for days trying to figure this out.

Happy Holidays
