 Hello Mr.Nasser,
 
 I apologize for e-mailing you directly rather than going through the
 newsgroups or the "contact us" e-mail address on the Insight website.  I
 tried to do both those
 things but my e-mail kept being returned by mailer-daemon because
 apparently my server is on some ORBS list so you think I am spam!!   Again,
 I apologize but
 I am in desperate need for help as I have run out of ideas!
 
 I did a custom install of RedHat Linux 7.0 then tried to install Insight
 using the following steps:
 
 go to usr/src
 unzip the file with the following command:  tar -xvzf insight-5.0.tar.gz
 go to usr/src/insight-5.0
 enter the following command:  ./configure
 
 at this point I get the following error:
 
 checking for tgetent in -lncurses... (cached) no
 checking for tgetent in -lHcurses... no
 checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
 checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... (cached) no
 checking for tgetent in -lcurses... (cached) no
 checking for tgetent in -lterminfo... no
 configure: error: Could not find a term library
 Configure in /usr/src/insight-5.0/gdb failed, exiting
 
 If I go back and do a workstation install of RedHat Linux 7.0, Insight installs correctly.  I don't want to be
 forced into a workstation install of
 Linux so I am trying to
 find a way around this.  First I thought I was missing a RPM so I made sure that every RPM that gets installed
 through a workstation install is
 installed
 on my custom machine.  I then tried to install Insight but I still received the same error as above.  After
 that idea failed, I have been following
 another trail.
 Tgetent is a function in libtermcap which is a basic system library for accessing the termcap database.  This
 led me to believe that something was
 different
 in the termcap database.  The termcap files found at /etc/termcap are identical between the two machines.  If I
 use the "set" command, both the custom
  and
 workstation installed machines have TERM =xterm.
 
 Any ideas on how to fix this error other than doing a workstation install of Linux?
 
 Thanks,
 Rebecca Krause
 
 
 I am afraid the information that you do not have a term library got cached somehow.
 
 have you tried "configure" in an empty directory?
 
 We never use the source directory itself for building around here.
 
 You can create any directory, cd to it and specify the full path to configure:
 
 /usr/src/insight-5.0/configure
 
 Or whatever path your sources are on.
 
 Please try this and let me know.

 Hi Fernando,
 
 I created an empty directory called test.  I did a cd into test.  Then at
 the prompt I typed "/usr/src/insight-5.0/configure" and received the
 following error:
 
 Configuring for an i686-pc-linux-gnu host
 ***Cannot configure here in "/test" when "/usr/src/insight-5.0" is
 currently configured
 
 What next?

 Your insight sources were poluted by the in-place configuration you did before.
 
 You need to re-untar the sources from the tar file so they are plain sources.
 
 I would have foreseen that, but as I said, we never do in-place configures around
 here.

 Hi Fernando,
 
 I created an empty directory /test
 
 At /usr/src I un-tarred the insight-5.0.tar.gz file
 
 At /test I entered the following command:
 
  /usr/src/insight-5.0/configure
 configure worked fine so then I entered the commen  make
 
 At make I get these errors:
 
 make[2]: Leaving directory `/test/tcl/unix'
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/test/tcl'
 make[1]: Entering directory `/test/tk'
 make[2]: Entering directory `/test/tk/unix'

 I can see the Xlib.h file in /usr/src/insight-5.0/tk/xlib/X11/Xlib.h
 
 Can you tell me how to fix this error?
 
 Thank you very much!
 Rebecca Krause
 
 
 Look if you system has
 
 /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h
 
 Maybe when you installed your Linux OS you didn't ask for the X11 *development* package.
