Dimitry,

Thank you for the help with termcap. I installed it and copied the
files to the toolchain directories as instructed by you.

Unfortunately, I continue to get the "no termcap library found" error.

I copied the library to three different directories just to be sure!

find . -name libtermcap.a -print
./gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.2.5/powerpc-603e-linux-gnu/powerpc-603e-linux-gnu/lib/libtermcap.a
./gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.2.5/powerpc-603e-linux-gnu/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-603e-linux-gnu/2.95.3/libtermcap.a
./gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.2.5/powerpc-603e-linux-gnu/lib/libtermcap.a


What directories is it looking in for the library? Should I have it in
my path or environment? See below for the relevant portion of the
error (where is it finding the other libraries - tinfo, curses,
ncurses?):

+ for ac_lib in termcap tinfo curses ncurses
