Re: Argus Client RATOP issue

Carter,

readline and ncurse where already installed.  I looked at the config.log
and noticed that in fact readline and ncurse where not found.  I then did
another ./configure, verified that this go around that it did find both
readline and ncurse.  It was found.  I then did make && make install

I then verified ratop against my pcap and argus files.  It was good.  I am
going to put this into production tomorrow and get my Analyst approval.  I
will keep you posted.

Thanks Carl
