Hi Matt,

Oddly, I still get the same error, but it looks like it should have worked:

gcc -pthread -shared -L/home/taskere/yt/lib/ -L/home/taskere/yt/lib64/
-L/home/taskere/yt/lib/ -L/home/taskere/yt/lib64/
-L/home/taskere/yt/lib/ -L/home/taskere/yt/lib64/
-L/home/taskere/yt/lib/ -L/home/taskere/yt/lib64/ -L/lib64
build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/Modules/2.x/readline.o
readline/libreadline.a readline/libhistory.a -lncurses -o
build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/readline.so

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses

Could it be a version problem? If so, I can go and beat up sysadmin :)

Elizabeth
