| 5 | your distribution has the <filename>/usr/lib/libcurses.a</filename> and
|
---|
| 6 | <filename>/usr/lib/libncurses.a</filename> files. If both of the files
|
---|
| 7 | are missing, you have to install the ncurses development package. This

| 10 | <para>If this package is already installed, or you just did it, check
|

| 11 | for the two files again. Often the <filename>libcurses.a</filename> file
|
---|
| 12 | is (still) missing. If so, then create <filename>libcurses.a</filename>
|

[b822811] | 41 | <para>then that means that you are probably using Debian, and that you have an

[20ea64e] | 42 | old version of the texinfo package. This error is not severe by any means: the

[94aac945] | 43 | info pages will be installed when we recompile bash dynamically in
|

[45714a7] | 46 | <userinput>ln -sf bash sh</userinput> commands) because they won't be
