Generic kernel. Full installation from DVD. I'm trying to install ncurses because I want to run FoxPro Unix, which expe= cts a terminfo database. I did this: # cd /usr/src/contrib/ncurses [Enter] # ./configure [Enter] The last line of output is config.status: error: cannot find input file: test/Makefile.in I contacted the authors and I got a reply stating: "It looks as if the sour= ce-tree is incomplete " and an alternative approach to installation. How should I proceed? Thanks in advance.=0A=0A=0A
