# ncurses for mips

[Sam]

Hi everybody,

I have installed ncurses 5.2 on Mandrake 8.2, and work well..
However, I try to install it for MIPS and get some error...
so I reconfigure with --libdir to appropriate lib path,
address@hidden ncurses-5.2]# ./configure --target=mips-linux
--libdir=/opt/toolchains/mips/mips-linux/lib

it still in problem...
(My MIPS corss-compiler is work well for linux kernel and other application)

and the log as follows,
Could anybody give me some suggestion?

thanks all,

--Sam
