If you don't need texinfo, just ./configure --without-texinfo and it should work... There are two applications that need some curses library: tcdialog and texinfo. One important thing anout teTeX is that --with-ncurses-libdir and --with-system-ncurses only affects tcdialog, not texinfo. The texinfo package in teTeX is 100% the same as the original texinfo distribution, so you might as well report your problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED] My guess is that you can solve your problem by running configure the following way: CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/sfw/include LDFLAGS='-L/opt/sfw/lib -R/opt/sfw/lib' ./configure --with-system-ncurses > Why is there a "no such file" error when I've explictly defined the path to it? The linker on Solaris makes a difference between link-time and run-time (-L option and -R option) path. Somehow, the compile-time linker has found the library; the run--time linker later did not find it. You might report this as a bug for the texinfo package. Thomas
