  I see now why I didn't have the problem, I don't use RPM's :-) In all
seriousness though I have a Slackware based system which I've heavily
modified. I don't have an actual 'termcap' lib as I use 'ncurses' setup
as straight 'terminfo', my 'libtermcap.so' is just a link to 'libncurses.so'
with what I guess is just a token <termcap.h> file for compatibility, it only
includes <sys/types.h>. Also glibc-2.1 (which Phil and I are using) doesn't
have <termbits.h> anymore, its been replaced by <bits/termios.h> which is
included by <termios.h> and shouldn't be called directly.
  Hmm, now that I've said that I don't understand it, Phil should have a
<termios.h> (both glibc 2.0.7 and 2.1 have it) so it should meet the first
condition and be done, if one has either <termios.h> or <termbits.h> then
<asm/termbits.h> shouldn't be included. I wonder why its including both
<termios.h> and <asm/termbits.h> for Phil ?

  I can see that :-)
