The simplest way would be to start from scratch. Though it is doable by installing ncurses and working up the dependency chain and compiling packages that depend on ncurses.

Unfortunately the book does not mention LFS dependencies nor does it state how to find the dependencies. The README is a good place to start but it may not list basic dependencies such as ncurses. A good way to find library dependencies is using readelf <http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/manual/html_chapter/binutils_14.html>. -- Tushar Teredesai mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
