What to do about: "Cannot find termcap compatible library"

[Erik Leunissen]

L.S.

I attempted to compile ddd-3.3.11. A problem occurred in the ./configure 
step, which failed with the following (last) lines of output:

checking for sin in -lm... yes
checking for open in -lc... yes
checking for elf_version in -lelf... no
checking for tgetent in -lmytinfo... no
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
checking for tgetent in -lterminfo... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
configure: error: Cannot find termcap compatible library.

I am unsure whether the following is relevant, but I mention it just in 
case:

Of the libraries in which configure searched for tgetent, the following 
are installed on my Linux system:

present        not present
-----------------------------
libncurses     libmytinfo
libcurses      libterminfo
libtermcap     libtermlib


Does anybody know what can I do to please ./configure ?


Thanks in advance,
