    My apology in advance if this is the wrong list for this type of inquiry.
    It should perhaps be in linux-newbie, but it is ham related!

    I'm running Red Hat 6.0, kernel 2.2.5-22
    I've downloaded and untared "predict" into /tmp/predict.

    I have the ncurses 4.2 library but can't find any sign of pthreads! It may
    be on the distro disk (APC Revised ed Linux Pocket Book.) but I can't find
    it there either.

    On running ./install as explained in the README I get this error message.
    (almost immediately!)

    one moment please... installer.c: 7: curses.h: no such file or directory
    ./install: ./installer: no such file or directory

    And install aborts.

    From the ncurses docs I am under the impression that ncurses replaces
    curses, and so am a little puzzled.I expected an error when install looked
    for pthreads but not for curses.

    The questions are...
    Where do I look for pthreads(.lib?)? Is it on the distr as an RPM?
    Whats with the curses/ncurses error?

    Hope someone can help or point me to some help.
