Hi there

I'm trying to compile vim 7.0 on a Kubuntu 6.06 computer. With the intention of running vim on Konsole and commandline only (no GUI or X11 needed - for now at least).

I got the following message when invoking "./configure --disable-gtk-check --disable-kde-check --disable-motif-check --disable-athena-check" :

      You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses.
      Or specify the name of the library with --with-tlib.
====================================================

Can someone please tell me what library I'm suppose to point to with --with-tlib.

Thanks in advance.
