Try to do this. locate curses.h (or ncurses.h) locate libncurses (or libcurses) If out of any of this commans is nothing, your installation is faulty. The directory of first output should go into CPPFLAGS and other should go into LDFLAGS like this: anda=`locate curses.h` export CPPFLAGS=-I`dirname $anda` anda=`locate libncurses` export LDFLAGS=-I`dirname $anda` and then do ./configure - -- Anupam Srivastava Scientific Coworker Universität Stuttgart Get my public keys: gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys DF8B2AFE 99F8BB81 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFNiyx7GZ7yN+LKv4RAttzAJoCoMezvH3I+D2JZ8qkRjbAT/lvlQCfb+cV mGKcM4dffyzMCSnX53WZ5C4= =QCIM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
