I have been truncated. Ouch! Lets try this again:

After hours of searching for some solutions, I thought I would post this
question for the group.

When I originally tried to "make" V7.6a of SF (I only want to run sfreflect),
I received the following errors:

[root@12-323-104-60 speak_freely-7.6a]# make

speaker.c:2207: warning: implicit declaration of function `endwin'
speaker.c:2820: warning: operation on `ident' may be undefined
make: *** [speaker.o] Error 1

TO focus on the first error...I have no "curses.h" file (I suspect Linux V9 no
longer includes this file).

I then "remarked" out reference to curses.h in speakfree.h and the program
compiled up to a point where the file "ncurses" could not be found. This file
does not exist in Linux V9 either. Here is this message:

[root@12-323-104-60 speak_freely-7.6a]# make

[root@12-323-104-60 speak_freely-7.6a]#

I then installed an ncurses4 5.0 - 11 RPM, but this package does not include
either file. At this point, I could simply remark ncurses out, but I am
getting a bit concerned....

Earlier, I ran a binary version of sfreflect to avoid compiling problems, but
I experienced "segmentation faults" on a regular basis. So I figured I would
formally compile and install it to see if this is more reliable.

Any help would be appreciated.
