Thanks Bob, I just made some testing by myself. In former mail I wrote that ax_with_curses_panel should look for panel.h in different locations.
It does NOT do that. I just moved the panel.h from ncurses.w/panel.h to only panel.h and I get the same error as on your side. The macro stops searching after the first failed test. Wrt to the libtinfo problem. That should be fixed with the new ax_with_curses which uses pkg-config if available. 73, Tom Am Thu, 26 Jan 2017 09:42:40 -0700 schrieb w9ya <w...@qrparci.net>: > Hey Ervin, Tom, and the gang; > > re: the "discussion 72" > > I've made SOME progress....AND I can clearly state that installing the > libtinfo does NOT help by itself !
