<title>Installation of Ncurses</title>

<para>First fix two tiny bugs:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&ncurses-etip-patch;
patch -Np1 -i ../&ncurses-vsscanf-patch;</userinput></screen>

<para>The first patch corrects the <filename>etip.h</filename> header file, and
the second patch prevents some compiler warnings on the use of deprecated
headers.</para>

<para>Now prepare Ncurses for compilation:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --with-shared \
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;--without-debug</userinput></screen>

<para>Compile the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>

<para>Install the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

<para>Give the Ncurses libraries execute permissions:</para>

<screen><userinput>chmod 755 /usr/lib/*.&ncurses-version;</userinput></screen>

<para>And fix a library that shouldn't be executable:</para>

<screen><userinput>chmod 644 /usr/lib/libncurses++.a</userinput></screen>

<para>Move the libraries to the <filename>/lib</filename> directory,
where they're expected to reside:</para>

<screen><userinput>mv /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5* /lib</userinput></screen>

<para>Since the libraries have been moved to
<filename>/lib</filename>, a few symlinks are currently pointing
towards non-existing files. Recreate those symlinks:</para>

<screen><userinput>ln -sf ../../lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libncurses.so
ln -sf libncurses.so /usr/lib/libcurses.so</userinput></screen>
