Sorry, I misread this question before. That is *not* the problem.
The problem is that "./configure ; make all" results in a build
failure. Termcap is not available on this system, and ./configure
acted as if it was anyhow, because the absense of termcap is not
automatically detected. I do not care whether this program uses ncurses
or termcap if both are available, but if only one is available, it should
automatically use that.
After I applied my patch, the FvwmConsole program linked correctly
(with "-lreadline -lncurses" instead of "-lreadline -ltermcap"), and
installed without errors. I will try to figure out how to use FvwmConsole
to attempt the other test you requested.
I believe that ncurses can be configured to install a symlink
from /usr/lib/libtermcap.a to /usr/lib/ncurses.a, or at least that older
verions of ncurses could, and that this may have hidden the problem before.
