Really? What does 'rpm -q ncurses-devel' say?

BTW, it would be *much* easier to determine the actual cause if you would post the part of config.log that shows the error. config.log is created in the directory where you call configure.

.............. configure:9626: result: setupterm configure:9628: checking for setupterm in -lncurses configure:9661: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/l /usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lzvt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:9664: $? = 1 configure: failed program was: #line 9635 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" /* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error. */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" #endif /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ char setupterm (); #ifdef F77_DUMMY_MAIN # ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" # endif int F77_DUMMY_MAIN() { return 1; } #endif int main () { setupterm (); ; return 0; } configure:9681: result: no configure:9686: checking for setupterm in -lcurses configure:9719: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/l /usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurses collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ........... As you can see problem is: // cannot find -lzvt // cannot find -lcurses etc.

BTW2, it would also help if you told us which version of BitchX you're trying to compile and on which version of SuSE Linux.

1. Duron 1 GHz on SiS 735. 256 MB SDRAM 2. SuSE 8.0 brick@linux:~> uname -a Linux linux 2.4.18-4GB #1 Wed Mar 27 13:57:05 UTC 2002 i686 unknown 3. Version of BitchX: ircii-pana-1.0c19.tar.gz

BTW3, the suse-programming-e mailing list would have been the right place to ask such question.
