You need libncurses-dev sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev Sent from my iPhone Can someone maybe tell me why the ./configure did not mention the ncurses/curses library being missing ? I am pretty sure this check is pretty much standard .

Hello all,

I have problem installing BIRD 1.3.11 (same problem with 1.4) on Debian (rel. 7.3).

After installing libreadline6-dev library configuration passed with following result:

BIRD was configured with the following options: Source directory: . Object directory: obj Iproute2 directory: /etc/iproute2 System configuration: ./sysdep/cf/linux.h Debugging: no Routing protocols: bgp ospf pipe rip static Client: yes

But when I run make command I get error:

.... ../../client/birdc.c:16:20: fatal error: curses.h: File or catalog not found compilation terminated. make[2] : *** [birdc.o] Error 1 make[2] : Leaving '/home/user/bird-1.4/obj/client' catalog make[1] : *** [subdir] Error 2 make[1] : Leaving '/home/user/bird-1.4/obj' catalog make: *** [all] Error 2

Best regards, Radoslaw

Thanks for help. ncurses was missing indeed.

That was just a missing check for ncurses in the configure script. -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Ondrej 'SanTiago' Zajicek (email: santiago@crfreenet.org) OpenPGP encrypted e-mails preferred (KeyID 0x11DEADC3, wwwkeys.pgp.net) "To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so."
