I read your message, George, just as I had finished installing the rpm. It appears to be installed now. I had to force an older version of ncurses onto my machine. It is good to have it installed, but I don't feel as good about it as I could. Just as I don't like being spoon fed by Bill Gates, I don't like being spoonfed by rpm. Hence I wish I knew why it would not work the old-fashioned way. I would like to get a job working with Linux someday, and when the boss is relying on you, 'tis not very cool to say that I cannot work with xyz unless I have the rpm. Know what I mean?
