Re: Ubuntu 11.10 issues

Sean and Mars, Thanks to you both for your prompt reply. % dpkg --get-selections | fgrep curses lib64ncurses5 deinstall libncurses5 install libncursesw5 install ncurses-base install ncurses-bin install ncurses-term install (I am on AMD64 hardware but I am running 32bit linux. I think the lib64ncurses5 was the result of trying to install what I may have already had.) If I ./configure --with-ncurses, I get: *** PANIC *** The C compiler can no longer build working executables. *** PANIC *** Please examine the tail of config.log for runtime errors. *** PANIC *** The most likely reason for this problem is that configure *** PANIC *** links with shared libraries, but those libraries cannot be *** PANIC *** found at run time. *** PANIC *** *** PANIC *** On a Linux system, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and re-run ldconfig. *** PANIC *** On other systems, try telling configure where to find the *** PANIC *** shared libraries using the --with-site-runtime-libraries option *** PANIC *** *** PANIC *** Another way to shoot yourself in the foot is to specify *** PANIC *** --with-FEATURE when FEATURE is not actually installed *** PANIC *** on your system. Don't do that. I think gcc -lncurses is causing this. ./configure --with-ncurses5 warns of unrecognized option. ./configure ; sudo make clean ; sudo make install gets me back to IO Error: Terminal type undefined (or can't access database?), "xterm" Reinstalled lib64ncurses5 and got same results. Thanks in advance for any help, Bruce _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
