I'm trying to compile pine 4.10 and having problems. The build fails with ld: cannot open -lncurses: No such file or directory I'm trying to work out if I'm missing a required library before reporting it as a bug, but there doesn't seem to be any way to find out what a source package depends on, and pine being pine, there isn't a binary package to check.
(for the pine problem) These are the ncusrses stuff I have: solzhenitsyn:/usr/local/src/pine-4.10# dpkg -l \*ncur\* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-============================================ ii libncurses4 4.2-3 Shared libraries for terminal handling un ncurses <none> (no description available) ii ncurses-base 4.2-3 Descriptions of common terminal types ii ncurses-bin 4.2-3 Terminal-related programs and man pages un ncurses-dev <none> (no description available) un ncurses-develop <none> (no description available) un ncurses-pic <none> (no description available) un ncurses-runtime <none> (no description available) ii ncurses-term 4.2-3 Additional terminal type definitions un ncurses21-dev <none> (no description available) ii ncurses3.0 1.9.9e-2.1 Old libc5 curses - shared libraries ii ncurses3.0-altd 1.9.9e-2.1 Old libc5 curses - Developer'slibraries un ncurses3.0-dev <none> (no description available) ii ncurses3.4 1.9.9g-8.11 Video terminal manipulation - sharedlibrari un ncurses3.4-dbg <none> (no description available) pn ncurses3.4-dev <none> (no description available) un ncurses3.4-pic <none> (no description available) ---- Robert King, Australian Environmental Studies, Griffith University, Australia 3875 6677 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ens.gu.edu.au/robertk/ "This library is open one hour each fortnight.
