libtermcap, tputs, and clisp

1997-09-12 Thread Will Lowe 
I'm trying to recompile the clisp package,  which installs and compiles
it's own gnu readline library.  The display routines are having problems
locating functions such as tputs,  which the comments in the source code
indicate should come from the locate termcap library.  I'm using the most
current version of the ncurses/termcap libs in unstable .. is there a
problem with them?

Secondly,  do we have a standard GNU readline library someplace
that I could just link clisp to,  rather than having it compile it's own
lib?

Don't use termcap, it's evil (and against policy).  If you have
ncurses3.4 and ncurses3.4-dev from hamm installed you should have no
problem linking with something that use tputs.

Yes, libreadlineg2 and libreadlineg2-dev.
