hi guys
I have a problem like this...
I tried "sudo make install"
"? tic could not build /usr/local/share/terminfo
make[1]: *** [install.data] Error 1
make: *** [install] Error 2"
how can i solve it?....
i solved it like this
$./configure
$make
& sudo make install
It's probably already installed as osx uses it. Just tell gcc to link to it: gcc -lncurses ...
Linker issues mean that you didn't invoke -lncurses when compiling. ncurses requires this, as well as other ncurses libs, i.e. to compile a c file using ncurses and the ncurses' 'form' lib you'd use:
gcc -o -lform -lncurses [file] [name]If using xcode the linker options are buried under project->build settings->all->other linker flags.
This works thanks
