LinuxQuestions.org - changing console text in-place

Ok, I did a helloworld program with ncurses. Problem is that it won't compile. G++ gives "undefined reference to: xxx()" where xxx() is any ncurses function. I found this strange because the ncurses.h header is right there in my '/usr/include' directory. Here is the program:

Code:

#include <ncurses.h>



int main()

{        

        initscr();                        /* Start curses mode */

        printw("Hello World !!!");        /* Print Hello World*/

        refresh();                        /* Print it on to the real screen */

        getch();                        /* Wait for user input */

        endwin();                        /* End curses mode*/



        return 0;

}

and here are the errors (from G++):

Quote:

/tmp/ccJvUTS2.o(.text+0x11): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `initscr'
/tmp/ccJvUTS2.o(.text+0x1e): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `printw'
/tmp/ccJvUTS2.o(.text+0x26): In function `main':

: undefined reference to `wgetch'
/tmp/ccJvUTS2.o(.text+0x3c): In function `main':

So, what gives? The program is copied line for line from this place: http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/NCURSES-Pro...lloworld.html, so I believe it should work.

Ok, I looked at the errors again and the problem seems to go al llittle deaper than I thought. Why is this: '/tmp/ccJvUTS2.o(.text+0x1e): ' there? That's just weird.
