What I see running configure:
...
checking for setupterm in -ltinfo... no
checking for setupterm in -lncurses... no
checking for setupterm in -lcurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
configure: error: Terminfo/termcap not found
(in case it matters, this is from the 2.26 attempt)
Do you have EPEL ?
It seems to be still on 2.25, but you could take the source rpm
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/9/Everything/source/tree/Packages/a/alpine-2.25-2.el9.src.rpm
add the 2.26 tarball, upsdte alpine.spec to use v2.26 and run
rpmbuild -ba alpine.spec
ncurses-6.2.8 is installed and the infocmp command exists and works.
After some digging and comparing my systems, I noticed that ncurses is
installed in /usr/lib64/ which suggests the problem is associated with the
fact my system is a 64 bit system and hence a minimal /usr/lib/
I tried looking at 'configure' but it has been too many years since I did
any shell programming so I made no progress there. I previously tried to
add support for the 32 bit programs but I think what I found was
incomplete.
I'd be happy to test any updates to configure, but have to put this on the
back burner for not.
Thanks,
David
