Just rerun the ./configure script -- it should detect the presence of the required header file automatically. If all went well you'll see "yes" three times: $ sudo aptitude install ncurses-dev [...] $ ./configure > tmp.txt [...] $ grep ncurses tmp.txt checking ncurses.h usability... yes checking ncurses.h presence... yes checking for ncurses.h... yes Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
