There are two versions libtermcap-2.0.8-20.i386.rpm and
libtermcap-devel-2.0.8-20.i386.rpm, I should download -devel- or?

In my /lib directory there exists a file named libtermcap.so.2.0.8

The first one holds the run-time support, allowing applications
dynamically linked against libtermcap to run on your system. That is
what will provide libtermcap.so, the shared library.

The second RPM holds the development support, allowing you to build
new applications that use termcap.

It looks like you already have the first one installed, in fact it
is very unlikely you would end up with an installation without the
run-time support. You need to install the second one since you are
building applications.

My guess is that you have only done a partial install and are missing
some RPM's related to software development. These will have to be
added to your system. Under RH7 the termcap library is provided by the
libtermcap-devel RPM. The curses library is provided by ncurses-devel.
I would expect RH6.2 to involve the same RPMs albeit older versions,
but do not have a 6.2 machine handy right now to verify this.

[ECOS] Problem when configuring Insight on Linux

[Andreas.Karlsson]

Hi,

I installed Red Hat 6.2 and then exactly followed the instructions on eCos
homepage but when configuring Insight-5.0 the following error occurs. I have
been searching both eCos archive and Insights, there are more people having
the same problem on both mailing lists but there are no solution:(



Any ideas?
