Hi Randy, I recently tried building 'dominion', a conquer-like wargame, on my machine. The authors use autoconf and say it runs fine on Linux. Running autoconf mostly seems to work, although it complains about not finding 'beep', 'cbreak', and 'crmode', all which (should) belong to curses. The build proceeds and I can run the program, but I get instances where a text window will appear for a millisecond then be stuck behind another one when it should have remained in front.... I'm not sure why and haven't gotten around to examining the problem yet. Sorry I can't help with yours... and my problem with ncurses/termcap obviously is a bit different... Just another nugget for your consideration when working on your problem. >indicating your consent to paying John R.
