Most likely your system is lacking the ncurses development package. To keep installation size smaller the binary library and files needed for compiling packages that use the binary library are in seperate packages. So, just install ncurses-dev or something similar and you should be fine. 73, de Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | "We have awakened a Internet | n0nb@networksplus.net | sleeping giant and Location | Bremen, Kansas USA EM19ov | have instilled in him Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | a terrible resolve". http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | - Admiral Yamamoto
