Configure problems

[Kevin Price-Ward]

Hi,

I trying to install mysql from source on a RedHat 7 box,

mysql version 3.23.34a

output from uname -a: Linux webserver.tmxnm.cxm 2.2.16-22smp #1 SMP Tue Aug
22 16:39:21 EDT 2000 i686 unknown

Hardware is Compaq 5000 professional workstation

Compiler is gcc-2.96-54

When I run ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql., it goes through a whole
load of stuff then comes up with this error:

checking for termcap functions library... configure: error: No
curses/termcap library found

The last line in config.log reads:

configure:8132: checking for termcap functions library

If I try rpm -q termcap, I get this:

termcap-11.0.1-3

When I installed RH7 I did a very minimal install, just the webserver
really, I have since had to install the compiler and dependancies to get
this far - will I now have to reinstall termcap?

Any help would be great

Thanks the_lar
