Hi Bob, You are right there are configuration problems wrt ncurses recognition on some distributions after our changes at end of 2015. We found out about it just after 1.2.4.5 came out.
In meantime it should be fixed and is one of the main points for the shortly coming 1.3.0 version. Could you please download the head of the master branch from github and try that out. It should hopefully fix the problem. Furthermore there are some problems with color and screen handling on systems with the new ncurses6. The master branch contains fixes for that problems too. Please try out and report back. 73, de Tom DL1JBE Am Wed, 25 Jan 2017 20:09:51 -0700 schrieb w9ya <w...@qrparci.net>: > Hey all; > > I *am* able to successfully compile and package v. 1.2.2 but cannot > compile either 1.2.3 or 1.2.4.5.
