When building from source, their README requires running ./configure, though they say that they aren't actually running the autoconf version but an emulation they wrote. This discovers all the libraries and adds them to the linker line. I noticed that your linker line had no -ltinfo in it, so compiling from the source RPM didn't perform this step, it seems. Maybe the maintainer doesn't have this library installed. I *think* there is a config include that with this information, so you could add it manually and it should work. Probably a good thing to document this with a bugzilla. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
