I've downloaded the Curses-1.23 module from CPAN and am attempting to
install it on my Solaris 8 system. I've not installed Perl modules
before and I'm looking for some clarification on instructions in the
included INSTALL file that comes with the module.
Evidently I need to set in my environment or on the command line a few
variables: CURSES_CFLAGS and CURSES_LDFLAGS to point to where the C
ncurses libraries and headers are. I'm a bit at sea over the exact
syntax of these lines. I have Ncurses installed in /usr/local/lib
which means I have /usr/local/lib/libncurses* files and a /usr/local/
include/ncurses directory with various header files. So I guess I'm
asking if I have the syntax of the variables right when I enter:
setenv CURSES_CFLAGS "-I/usr/local/include/ncurses"
setenv CURSES_LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib -lncurses"
(That's a capital "eye" on the first line and a lower case "L" on the
second one, in front of ncurses)
