I had something similar a while back. I actually had termcap available and still got errors. Seems to me I did something simple like adding the ncurses-devel.
That did the trick indeed.
Thanks.
For the maintainers in this mailing list: would it be wise to change the
error message ("configure: error: no termcap library found")?
To me, the message was misleading, because:
- a termcap library actually was present
- the configure script appeared to be needing other files besides the
library (header files, ... ).
Cheers,
