ncurses.h


Hi,

I am doing a C++ self study. I faced a problem with getche() because it needed a library from conio.h which is a non ANSI library (of course) from Microsoft. I googled and I could know that I need ncurses which was already installed. Now my compiler complains of not being able to find the ncurses.h file! I checked with yum and found that ncurses is installed. how may I find this file? Where is it installed exactly?
I used "locate" and did a hard "find / -iname ncurses*.*" while root, but it could not be found.

Thanks,

Max

You need the ncurses core files in order to run applications that require ncurses.

You also need to install ncurses-devel files in order to do development work.

Thanks bigrigdriver, I installed the package ncurses-devel and it compiled well, with no errors, yet the code did not work
