Hello, currently the book installs the ncurses+gpm combo not in the same way as described in the NCurses FAQ:
http://dickey.his.com/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#using_gpm_lib We compile ncurses in LFS without GPM and then let GPM detect them and replace some functions. But in the FAQ above it is recommended to compile GPM --without-curses and recompile ncurses --with-gpm. Distros do different things, so this may be in fact a non-issue. I remember seeing (but cannot find right now) a segfault report when GMP and ncurses are built in the LFS/BLFS way. With NCurses-5.4, this would mean moving GPM libraries to /lib. There is no need to do so with ncurses-20050319, they will dlopen libgpm if it is present. -- Alexander E.
