AGAIN Hugs98 under Linux

[Sigbjorn Finne]

Hi,

I suspect it's the ncurses feature test in the configure script that's
failing. Here's something to try:

 - in src/unix/configure.in, change the ncurses test to say

      AC_CHECK_LIB(ncurses,tputs,TERMCAP="-lncurses",,)

    instead of

      AC_CHECK_LIB(ncurses,tputs,TERMCAP="-lncurses",,)

 - do the same for the 'termcap' feature test, i.e., change it to

        AC_CHECK_LIB(termcap,tputs,TERMCAP="-ltermcap",,)

 - run the src/unix/mkconfig script to generate a new configure script.

 - re-run the configure script (with the option --with-readline) & rebuild
   Hugs.
