|

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
|
---|
8 | package is often call something like <emphasis>ncurses-dev</emphasis>.</para>

9 |
|
---|
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>
|
---|
13 | as a symlink by running the following commands:</para>

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

42 | old version of the texinfo package. This error is not severe by any means: the
|
---|
43 | info pages will be installed when we recompile bash dynamically in
|
---|
44 | chapter 6, so you can ignore it. You do, however, have to run the last

45 | two commands manually (the <userinput>cd $LFS/bin</userinput> and
|

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