Re: gcc can't find termcap library

Tell me where the source for "scilab" is, and I will remove its termcap dependence. I'm a reasonably competent ncurses programmer. Supporting two terminal management mechanisms would not be a good idea. Bruce

Re: gcc can't find termcap library

Hello, Actually this termcap thing is beginning to get annoying. There are at least two other packages I want to add that are not supported by anyone yet. The most important being scilab, but it won't compile the way debian has changed termcaps. I must have spent a day trying to redo the makef

gcc can't find termcap library

I recently installed Debian 1.1, including termcap.compat. Since then I've installed a custom version of the kernel (2.0.7) successfully, so I figure that gcc is reasonably well set up. However, I tried to compile kermit 5A(190) and the make failed, complaining that it couldn't find -ltermcap. T
