Title: curses.h ncurses.h no suitable curses library found
Post by: halma on July 16, 2014, 09:22:55 AM

Hi,


yesterday it took for me about 6 hours to find out that there must be a problem inside the n-curses Extensions from the repo, cause everytime i tried to do a ./configure for XEN , the configure was not able to find curses.h or ncurses.h , i am sorry at the moment i dont have any logs left, i compiled ncurses-5.9 from the sources for my self again as Extension and now the ./configure is able to find the missing curses.h and ncurses.h , i posted into the IRC channel about it .

just let you all to know about it.

if i got some time again i will try to reproduce the problem and posting some logs.

best regards
Halma

Depending on what you're trying to compile there could be a couple of different problems:

* the configure script insists in look in /usr/include for the headers instead of /usr/local/include
* the configure script looks in /usr/local/include, but not in /usr/local/include/ncurses (x86_64)

..both of these problems can be fixed with a symlink and a bug report to xen

You didn't share the difference between your version and the one in the repo.

i also tried the to make symlink's to /usr/include but this did not helped and also tried
export CURSES_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/ncurses"
and
"export CURSES_LIBS=-L/usr/local/lib"

and also ./configure --includedir=/usr/local/include/ncurses

but the result allways was :
checking ncurses.h presence... no
checking curses.h presence... no

just from memory i wrote this

Sounds like the -dev extension was not loaded?
