[ale] help with lib

[Michael Hirsch]

They are not in the default search path for the linker.  IMHO, this is a
bug in the distribution, but mostly it is a bug in the makefile, or
configure script.

Yes that is where the libtermcap.a and libtermcap.so files are. I just
don't understand why the compiler couldn't find them.

The -L/usr/lib/termcap implies that there is a library in that
directory.  What does ls /usr/lib/libtermcap look like?  There must be
something there.

I finally got it to work with the following:

gcc sailor.c navigate.o -o sailor   -L/usr/lib/termcap -lncurses
-ltermcap -lm

A combination of using ncurses instead of curses and the
-L/usr/lib/termcap.

 

But this does not explain why it could not find the termcap lib. Should
there be a path statement in my .bashrc file to tell gcc where the libs
are located?
