I am at a loss for where to begin. > Sorry if this is really basic. I don't think it's really basic... It's possibly something to do with the libraries used for on-screen formatting. It may, for example, have been using termcap before and now be using curses. If you want to investigate (and I may be barking up the wrong tree), look inside the file config.status. You should find a line containing @LIBS@ which tells what libraries are being linked in (e.g. -lcurses or -ltermcap). If that's changed, you could try (1) changing the line in config.status to use termcap (2) run ./config.status (3) comment out the line #define HAVE_CURSES_H in config.h to stop it building the curses-specific stuff. and rebuild. However, it could well be something completely different. -- Peter Stephenson Software Engineer CSR Ltd., Science Park, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1223 692070 ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
