ncurses and conio help...

I have some code and I read that conio.h doesn't exist in Linux but ncurses.h is a Linux replacement for it. Well, my program uses conio.h and compiles in Windows but in Linux when I replace the include I get a lot of errors that resemble this:

Code:

/tmp/ccfERCrG.o(.text+0x19): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<c
har> >::basic_string[in-charge]()'

Any help on fixing this problem is appreciated.

Well yes ncurses is a equivalent to conio on windows but
you dont use it the same way.

For a short intro how to use conio have a look at this howto

It appears that maybe you are using gcc to compile C++ code. Use g++ instead.

Haha, silly me. I was using gcc, not g++. That fixed my problem, thanks a lot.
