ispell config problem

[gowrann]

I am trying to install ispell and there is an error re:

** TERMLIB - where to get the termcap library. Should be -ltermcap or
** -lcurses on most systems.
*/
#ifndef TERMLIB
#define TERMLIB "/usr/local/lib/"
#endif

I can't find it on OSX and thus can't map it in the config file, on an install I get an error;
/usr/bin/ld: can't map file: /usr/local/lib/ ((os/kern) invalid argument)

anyone know the answer?

Try fink install!

If you don't have fink installed then

find / -name "libcurses*" -or -name "libtermcap*"

will only find

/usr/lib/libcurses.dylib

so my bet is that

#define TERMLIB "/usr/lib/"

will do the trick.

(If you do have fink installed then the above may also find '/sw/lib/libcurses.dylib' - but then if you have fink installed you can install ispell using it as the previous post pointed out)
