| Hi, I’m wondering if you can tell me where I can ask someone a
| question about ncurses. Is there a forum I can visit?
| 
| 
| 
| I am on ubuntu, programming in CodeBlocks. My compiler does not
| complain about “#include <ncurses.h>” but then it won’t recognize
| initscr() or “refresh()” or “noecho()”
| 

That sounds like you've missed the library itself, e.g., adding a

    -lncurses

or

    -lncursesw

to the link command.

| ncurses in my file browser. But I have programs dependent on it like
| Cool Retro Term which work fine.

There's a little discussion here, mainly for clarifying documentation issues
(and of course bugs).   If it's just how-to, then this works:
