Problem installing lynx under redhat
I'm trying to install lynx2.8.4 on my linux machine but however, once I run ./configure I get this error message:

[...]
checking for tgoto in -lunknown... no
checking for initscr in -lncurses... no
checking for initscr in -lcurses... no
checking for initscr in -lcursesX... no
checking for initscr in -lxcurses... no
checking for initscr in -ljcurses... no
checking for initscr in -lunknown... no
configure: error: no curses library found


so I went to get this file: ftp://ftp.rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/...6.95-1.i386.rpm and this file: wget ftp://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses-5.3.tar.gz

I uncompressed the archives but now I'm not sure what exactly needs to be done. Any ideas? Please bare with me, I'm a complete newbie but willing to learn

Just install the ncurses and ncurses-devel packages off of the Red Hat CDs.

Why not just use the RedHat up2date program to grab lynx and all the dependencies for you?

Code:
up2date lynx


Should be that easy.
