I noticed from the archives that some people had problems configuring the MySQL source. They were getting the same error message as I was getting, about termcap and curses libraries being missing, but nobody seemed to work out exactly what was wrong or what needed installing. On Linux Mandrake 8.0, I have found that installing the RPM libncurses5-devel from the distribution CD seems to do the trick. This particular problem is not caused by gcc version 2.96 after all. Hope that helps!
