Checking packages.debian.org suggests that you need one of these: libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev elks-libc .. most likely 'libncurses5-dev'. Installing that should allow you to continue './configure'ing. This is the search I used -- it searches testing for all packages containing 'termcap.h' http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=termcap.h&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=testing&arch=i386 -- Ryan Schultz -> floating point exception: divide by cucumber -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
