In Debian there is a termcap-compat package for i386 systems,I run a Sarge PowerPC system,so I needed to get a SuSE source,build it in Debian,and with alien create a .deb binary.It installs without problem,but I tried to build MySQL-4.1.12(from MySQL AB servers in Sweden) and the configure script warns:
... checking termcap.h usability ... no checking termcap.h presence ... no checking termcap.h ... no ... ... checking for tgetent in lncurses ... no checking for tgetent in lcurses ... no checking for tgetent in ltermcap ... no checking for termcap function library ...configure: \ error: no curses/termcap library found error: Bad exit status... However all is there,and dpkg --status termcap outputs: install ok installed. So what is the specificity around termcap in Debian? Trying to build Bro(the IDS program) problems around termcap also happend. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
