ncurses libraries

[Philippe Piot]

All,
Just a comment (as I am doing a fresh install of sdds, elegant, etc...), on my system I could not compile SDDS2.9. The compilation would fail on missing ncruses library though the libraries seems to be installed on my system. I had to manually copy them in the /epics/extensions/lib/linux-x86 and corresponding include files in .../extensions/include. Should this be the case? Thanks -- Philippe.

It assumes the ncurses is a system library and located in /usr/lib/libncurses.so and /usr/include/ncurses.h. Was yours at a different location?

[Philippe Piot]

No, there are in the directories you mentioned:

[piot@node1 SDDS]$ ls /usr/lib/libncurses.so*
/usr/lib/libncurses.so /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5.5
[piot@node1 SDDS]$ ls /usr/include/ncurses*
/usr/include/ncurses.h

Thanks! -- Philippe.
