No. It happens on both systems I've upgraded.
I'm having problems compiling screen-3.7.1-1.src.rpm. Before and
after applying the three patches I get the following output when
running ./configure. What did you do differently to get screen to
compile?
this is screen version 3.7.1
checking for gzip to derive installation directory prefix
checking for gcc
checking how to run the C preprocessor
checking whether -traditional is needed
checking for POSIXized ISC
checking for mawk
checking for gawk
checking for a BSD compatible install
checking for buggy tools
- sh is 'GNU sh, version 1.14.7(1)' - (buggy again shell?).
- sed is 'GNU sed version 2.05' - good.
checking for MIPS
checking for Ultrix
checking for butterfly
checking for POSIX.1
- you have a POSIX system
checking for System V
checking for sequent/ptx
checking for SVR4
checking for dwarf.h
checking for elf.h
checking for BSD job control
- you have jobcontrol
checking for setreuid
checking for seteuid
checking for select
checking fifos
- your fifos are usable
checking for broken fifo implementation
- your implementation is ok
checking sockets
- your sockets are usable
checking socket implementation
- you are normal
- both sockets and fifos usable. let's take fifos.
checking select return value
- it is not usable
checking for tgetent
checking for libcurses
checking for libtermcap
checking for libtermlib
configure: !!! no tgetent - no screen
What do I do now?
Mick
