All,
I am trying to install libvir on my SUSE box.
The .configure command halts with the following message.
ibxml2 xml2-config ... yes ('')
checking for initscr in -lcurses... no
configure: error: curses library not found
But, I have installed curses, and cdk.
linux:~/xen/libvirt-0.1.0 # whereis curses
curses: /usr/include/curses.h /usr/include/curses
What am I missing out here?
thanks

dunno, check the config.log to see why linking failed.

ncurses vs. curses ?
# ls -la /usr/lib/libcurses*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Mar 25 01:55 /usr/lib/libcurses.a ->
libncurses.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Mar 25 01:56 /usr/lib/libcurses.so ->
libncurses.so.5.5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 25 01:56 /usr/lib/libcursesw.a ->
libncursesw.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar 25 01:56 /usr/lib/libcursesw.so ->
libncursesw.so.5.5
Maybe we should check for ncurses in the libvirt configure script.

Yes, this is the problem. I hacked configure.in to look for ncurses but
have not had time (or forgot) to submit a proper patch.
Maybe we should check for ncurses in the libvirt configure script.
yep. I will have to recall the proper way to look for both and submit
patch, unless someone beats me to it.
