ncurses, doesn't work.
 

even a little program like below, produces no output. just pauses for a second, then returns to the shell..

any ideas why?

/* File Path: basics/hello_world.c */
#include <ncurses.h>
int main()
{
initscr();/* Start curses mode */
printw("Hello World !!!");/* Print Hello World */
refresh();/* Print it on to the real screen */
endwin();/* End curses mode */
return 0;
}

What terminal type are you using? What is the value of TERM?

Your program worked fine on my box.

same
 

My program doesn't produce any output either. How do I know the value for TERM, how do I fix it? Thank you.

echo $TERM

the value is xterm

Thanks for the quick reply!

I am compiling with -lcurses as well. I can't figure out why I'm not getting output! This has put an abrupt stop to doing my homework since I can't even really start without producing any output. Please help! Thanks!
