Thanks for that, Aaron... you pointed me in the right direction, I
started by looking at what this bit of code was doing:
> cd $popsys
> ./poplink_cmnd
Then I tried to edit poplink_cmnd to fix the error (by including
-I/usr/lib/termcap), but soon enough I found out that the file gets
overwritten every time I run INSTALL_MOTIF_POPLOG, So I created a link
from /usr/lib/termcap/libtermcap.a to /usr/lib/libtermcap.a in order for
gcc to find the file, now it works.
Probably you should add that bit of advise in the readme files for
SuSE... :)
Thanks for the help again,
Dave.
