Re: Help with compilation

[Danny Backx]

1. You may want to grab 1.99.16

2. On some Linuxes, you need to load curses to be able to compile oleo. I only
   recently discovered this and didn't document it yet. On SuSE 7.1 for instance
   you need to load the package ncurses-devel-5.2-8 from the distribution.

   I just ran rpm -q -f /usr/include/term.h
   to figure that out.
