Hi,

Just been trying to fix my system after playing with sudo (don't do 
it... its bad, ok?) and when I attempted to reinstall poplog, all 
accoprding to the instructions for SuSE, all files are correct, all 
shared objects /links to them are in place, I get this error:

[root@destruktor /usr/local/poplog/src/linux-poplog]# ./run_install

[snip...]

/usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -ltermcap
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

[snip...]

Now rebuilding system images
relinking -- using /usr/local/poplog/v15.53a/pop/pop/poplink_cmnd
checking for newpop11
COULD NOT LINK NEWPOP11:
Try commenting out poplink_cmnd
OR
Try asking for help via comp.lang.pop or pop-forum AT cs.bham.ac.uk
[root@destruktor /usr/local/poplog/src/linux-poplog]# ll usr/lib/libterm*

/lib/libtermcap.so.2 -> /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2
[root@destruktor /usr/local/poplog/src/linux-poplog]#


and /etc/ld.so.conf points to *both* /usr/lib and /usr/lib/termcap

has anyone got any ideas why this error is comming up? I really need to 
get poplog working ASAP, any help is grreatly appreciated.

dave.
