Dear Dave,

Mandrake, and possibly some other versions of Linux, has folded some (all)? of
the routines of libtermcap into libncurses.  Possibly they are not even needed
by readline.  So you need to edit "defs.mak" (and/or "scripts/config", if you
want the change to remain valid through the next "make config") and change

READLINE_LIBS          = -lreadline -ltermcap

to

READLINE_LIBS          = -lreadline -lncurses

or possibly even just

READLINE_LIBS          = -lreadline

In the "scripts/config" file, this is around line 460, and the change should
be from

	set rl_libs=($rl_libs -lreadline -ltermcap)

to

	set rl_libs=($rl_libs -lreadline -lncurses)
or
	set rl_libs=($rl_libs -lreadline)

I know that on SuSE Linux, "-lreadline" alone suffices, but I don't know if
that's true of Mandrake.  If you (or somebody, since I'm CC'ing this to
magic-dev) could give me feedback and let me know, I can fix the CVS source
directly so this problem doesn't crop up anymore.

						Regards,
						Tim

Hi

  I am trying to install Magic on a Linux Mandrake system, and cannot get the 
system to recognise the termcap shared library -- section of log file below. 

gcc -g  -m486 -I. -I.. -I../readline -Dlinux -DSYSV -DF_OK=0 -DW_OK=2 -
D__NO_STRING_INLINES -DISC -DUSE_READLINE -DNONMANHATTAN -
DUSE_NEW_MACROS -DMAGIC_VERSION="\"7.1\"" -DMAGIC_DATE="\"`date`\""

-lreadline -ltermcap -lm

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltermcap
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [magic] Error 1


  The file /lib/libtermcap.so.2.0.8 is present, and copied  also to
readline directory  (ldconfig -n command executed). Help!
