ZSH compilation issue

ZSH compilation issue

[Gustavo]

Hello!
I wanted to try out your ZSH program, so I downloaded the source.

The compilation process began nicely, since my system is nothing of uncommon
(Debian GNU/Linux on a i686), until make stopped with the following message:

init.o: In function `init_term':
init.o(.text+0xc37): undefined reference to `tgetent'
init.o(.text+0xcd8): undefined reference to `tgetstr'
init.o(.text+0xd5c): undefined reference to `tgetflag'
init.o(.text+0xd6e): undefined reference to `tgetnum'
init.o(.text+0xd83): undefined reference to `tgetnum'
prompt.o: In function `tsetcap':
prompt.o(.text+0x150c): undefined reference to `tputs'
prompt.o(.text+0x154d): undefined reference to `tputs'
prompt.o(.text+0x1586): undefined reference to `tgetnum'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [zsh] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 1

Since I am not a user of your mailing list, I would appreciate if you could
mail me directly a tip on how I may fix this problem.

Thank you for your time.

As root, run

apt-get install libncurses-dev

You might also want to install yodl, texinfo, groff-base, groff, texi2html, libcap-dev,
and bsdmainutils.

For that matter, you could just install the zsh package.
