BUT , it will not even begin to install :^( here is what I get when I try to run ./configure on the RedHat box... [root@n7bfs predict-2.2.1]# ./configure One moment please... installer.c:16:20: curses.h: No such file or directory Compilation failed. Are you sure you have a C compiler (gcc) installed? [root@n7bfs predict-2.2.1]# Now , what I get from that is that my node box does not have curses installed. Hmm , so I check and sure enough it has "ncurses" installed , but not curses, so I check all 3 install cd's and none have a curses package on them , so I check the SuSE install dvd and sure enough -it- has it! So my general question is , has anyone who is using the latest version of predict running it on a RedHat box and if so what did you have to do to make it happen ? I have done a search on rpmfind.net and have not found any curses packages for Redhat , which seems kinda confusing , but not surprising . Or could someone point me in the direction of a how-to/info page that would help me figure out how to install curses from sources so I don't need a stinking RPM file to install curses on my node box ;^} Or maybe I just didn't install RedHat properly... tia for any input! -- Douglas Cole N7BFS Spokane IRLP node owner AMSAT#26182 , K2 # 544 http://www.users.qwest.net/~cdoug3 Registered Linux user # 188922
