Re: making apps

[Bob Nielsen <nielsen@oz.net>]

Dex,

Although my experience over the past several years has been with
Debian, I expect that SuSe and probably Red Hat still support ax25,
since they also have hams who are active in the organizations.  On the
other hand, compiling from source isn't necessarily a bad thing--I have
a few ham programs which I update frequently from CVS because the
packages tend to lag behind the latest code (which is also why I run
the "testing" version of Debian instead of the stable version).

The package names vary a bit between distributions, but
libncurses-devel contains the libs and includes required for
compilation of apps using ncurses.  The others are required when you
run the apps.  Thus you probably need all of the packages you listed
with the possible exception of ncurses-extraterms.
