Hi

I want to use Curses::UI. ( perl module installation )

I installed successfully that. But while executing the perl i got error that curses also need to install.

while installing..i am getting the following error

[root@cheetah Curses-1.20]# perl Makefile.PL
GEN function: not applicable
PANELS functions: not enabled
MENUS functions: not enabled
FORMS functions: not enabled

Making a guess for -I and -L/-l options...
Guesses:
includes: '-I/usr/include/ncurses'
libs: '-lncurses'
Curses type: ncurses
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Makefile.PL line 424.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Makefile.PL line 425.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Makefile.PL line 426.
Writing Makefile for Curses
[root@cheetah Curses-1.20]# vi Makefile.PL

anybody got this kind of error.


moreover, ncurses is installed on my pc with devel also.

[root@cheetah Curses-1.20]# rpm -qa ncurses
ncurses-5.6-12.20070812.fc8
[root@cheetah Curses-1.20]#

help me please

probably the files reside in a different location than expected by perl. locate them and make appropiate symlinks so they will be found. maybe a simple
ln -s /lib/libncurses.so.5 /lib/libncurses.so

or similar helps if the shared obect is not found because of the release number at the end.
