Hi -

Undoubtedly the "vt200" error is because your program can't initialize "ncurses".

The "ncurses" error is because your target system doesn't seem to have a "libncurses.so.5".

Your program shouldn't have linked if there wasn't a a curses library on your development system. It looks like you tried to link statically ("-lstatic") ... but I guess it didn't work :-)

Soooooo

1. It looks like there's only one "root cause": if you solve the "libcurses" problem, you fix both errors.

2. You need to either a) find a shared libncurses for your target platform (frankly, I'd recommend this approach) or b) figure out how to link curses statically (provided you have an appropriate "libncurses.a" in your build environment, it shouldn't be too hard).

'Hope that helps .. PSM
