Scott, I've got Mandrake 8.2, but my modem doesn't work with it. Therefore as I'm in Windows, I can't check that this is exactly right without rebooting and I can't be bothered to do that. On the desktop there ought to be a shortcut to the Mandrake Control Centre, then in the system part there is something like Software Manager. You might need your CD in it for it to be able to list the packages, but apart from that it's intuitive. I don't think you can make do with just the header file, you need the library and so the whole package. From, Rupert P.S. If this is a load of nonsense please excuse me because I have only had Linux for a few months and Mandrake 8.2 a few days.

In my menus, I find a Theme Manager, a File Manager, a Session Manager, a Login Manager, but alas, no "Mandrake Software Manager".

I have used the "find" command to look for curses.h, ncurses.h, curses.c, ncurses.c, curses, and ncurses in the complete /usr directory. No luck. ( Note: This was done *after* I untarred the kernel source onto my hard drive again.) And believe me - it takes a *long* time to try and find a file in the /usr directory when it's almost 1 GB in size!

By the way, I have ncurses-5.2-12mdk.i386.rpm installed (checked by doing: rpm -q ncurses), and even re-installed it.

I'm using Mandrake 8.0, but the kernel was updated to version 2.4.17 a while back from source files, not Mandrake's RPM's.

Can someone just please *send* me a copy of curses.h or ncurses.h, and let me know what directory it belongs in?

Scott

I've *finally* gotten around to trying to compile Xfractint 20.2.04. Seems like curses.h is missing. Should I grab a copy from an older version?

Using the Mandrake Software Manager, search for ncurses. This should identify the package you need to install. I had a similar problem with Mandrake 8.0. In addition to missing libraries, gcc was missing with one installation I did. Either Mandrake 8.2 is better or I'm getting better at installing the correct software. Although the Power Pack is missing nasm.
