Hello,
I had not re-built GNU APL recently, since r1997, so when trying to build
latest here today I saw a failure at link time, due to lib '-ltinfo' not
being found.
Reverting a single definition in tools/Makefile.in and tools/Makefile.am
fixed the build for me.
Note this was on a 'funtoo' server (which is a bit out-of-date, due to the
project shutting down), but AFAIK the libncurses6 is reasonably up-to-date.
I can find no separate 'tinfo' package so I'm uncertain why this is
breaking for me.
$ svn diff tools/Makefile.{in,am}
