Linux from scratch problems

[jbhoo]

:( I, am at the point where i am trying to compile the bash shell and I get this error
cannot find -lcurses collect 2: Id returned 1 exit status
make:*** [bash] Error 1

my host system is mandrake 8.2 and I have the two file libncurses.a $ libcurses.a Isent this lcurses file suppose to be in one of the bash packages that I unzipped? I allso tried to copy the last few lines of the terminal readout so i could paste in this message. is there a way to do this? for future problems

-lcurses???
As I recall, I had a curses/ncurses problem with Mandrake 7.2
You want to get access to the LFS newsgroups to check for solutions that are already known. www.linuxfromscratch.org (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org)
Good luck with your LFS...

Highlight the text you want to copy.
Goto the application you want to copy too.
On a 3 button mouse, press the middle button or scroll wheel, bingo. (On a 2 button mouse, press both buttons.)

i fixed that by renaming some files. be prepared for even worse when you come to the glibc package, there's some errors in the docs, and i had to edit some code to get it to work
