It's a Linux system, although with a 2.0-derived kernel and an older gcc (2.95.3) and glibc (2.1.3).
When you speak of the operating system that is basically the GNU system with Linux added, would you please call it "GNU/Linux"? If you call it just "Linux", you're giving the principal developers none of the credit. GNU Inetutils, GCC and GLIBC is just a part of what we developed to produce a complete free operating system. See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html for more explanation about this. The config.log is huge, so I've compressed it and placed it for FTP at ftp://ftp.ocis.net/pub/users/ldeutsch/transient/config.log.gz. (I'd send it as MIME, but it looks like there is something in the gnu.org system that silently eats messages with MIME attachments.) Thanks! Looking at the configure script again, the code is looking for a "/usr/include/ncurses" directory, which doesn't exist on my system. The ncurses headers are just in the /usr/include directory itself: "/usr/include/curses.h", "/usr/include/termcap.h", etc. Could you try the patch that I attached? You will need to have autoconf 2.59 and automake 1.9 installed to regenerate the files by issuing the command `./autogen.sh' in the root of the source directory for inetutils. > Did configure detect a termcap library on your system? No. There is no -ltermcap or -lcurses on my system. (I think ncurses wanted to install a libcurses.so symlink, but I removed that as clutter.) I'll have to think about this one a bit, the whole termcap vs ncurses vs curses thing confuses me. --- acinclude.m4 11 Oct 2005 13:13:20 +0200 1.16 +++ acinclude.m4 04 Nov 2006 02:32:42 +0100 @@ -173,6 +173,10 @@ AC_DEFUN([IU_LIB_NCURSES], [ inetutils_cv_includedir_ncurses="$D/ncurses" break fi + if test -f $D/ncurses.h; then + inetutils_cv_includedir_ncurses="$D" + break + fi test "$inetutils_cv_includedir_ncurses" \ || inetutils_cv_includedir_ncurses=none done) _______________________________________________ Bug-inetutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-inetutils
