Are you setting the include path correctly when you configure your source package? There should be an option in its configure script. If it's enough of a dinosaur not to have a configure script have a look in the top level makefile. ncurses.h exists OK on my box (woody, with ncurses-dev installed): $ ls -l /usr/include/*curses.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 54005 Mar 29 2002 /usr/include/curses.h lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jul 25 18:19 /usr/include/ncurses.h -> curses.h -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
