gdb configure error: no termcap library found

[Erik Leunissen]

When compiling the gdb-6.4 source package, the build comes to a halt 
when the ./configure script in the gdb directory is run:

     configure: error: no termcap library found

I have trouble to make this error message correspond with the actual 
output of the following command:

 > locate *libncurses.so*
/lib/libncurses.so.5
/lib/libncurses.so.5.3
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.1.9.7a
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.2.1
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.4
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.4.2

Can somebody please help me find out what's wrong?


Thanks in advance,

Erik Leunissen
