[expert] ncurses-devel mdk
Hello all I downloaded the kernel 2.4.19-16mdk source but could not install it as it depends on ncurses-devel. I did a check on my system to see which version of ncurses i have and i have ncurses-5.2-25mdk but I could not find on rpmfind.net the same development version. Could someone pointme where I should look for it on the net. Thx Bharath Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
