Re: [Help-smalltalk] Problem when using NCurses

[olivier auverlot]

I have dug in the mailing list archive and I found a similar problem. It
seems that I must write the following code:

PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'NCurses'.

DLD addLibrary: 'libncurses.so.5'.
NCWindow clock.

The code snippet runs fine but it's correct ? Can we do better ?
