Initial Comment:
Hello, 

I've downloaded minicom 2.4 and compile it but an error occured during the compilation: 

Making all in src                                                 
dial.c: In function ‘horiz_draw’:                                 
dial.c:1269: attention : champ de précision should have type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘size_t’
window.c:28:21: erreur: termcap.h : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type (file not found)

So I installed the package which contains /usr/include/termcap.h and after that I got another error: 

In file included from port.h:39,                                                                
                 from minicom.c:37:                                                             
/usr/include/ncurses/termcap.h:65: erreur: conflicting types for ‘tgetent’                      
/usr/include/termcap.h:43: note: previous declaration of ‘tgetent’ was here                     
/usr/include/ncurses/termcap.h:68: erreur: conflicting types for ‘tputs’                        
/usr/include/termcap.h:53: note: previous declaration of ‘tputs’ was here

I fixed this error by changing the port.h file:

#ifdef HAVE_TERMCAP_H
#  include <termcap.h>
#else
#ifdef HAVE_NCURSES_TERMCAP_H
#  include <ncurses/termcap.h>
#endif
#endif

becomes

#ifdef HAVE_TERMCAP_H
#  include <termcap.h>
#endif
#ifdef HAVE_NCURSES_TERMCAP_H
#  include <ncurses/termcap.h>
#endif

Message:
I have uploaded both the config.h and config.log files. In Mandriva, ncurses provides termcap.h file in /usr/include/ncurses/.

Message:
Ok. In Debian /usr/include/termcap.h is provided by libncurses5-dev and is thus compatible to ncurses. I removed the '#include <termcap.h>' from window.c now as it is redundant anyway. Does this help in your case too?
What does configure detect on your system (what's in config.h)?

Message:
Without lib64termcap-devel I have the first error (termcap.h file not found), that's why I installed it.

Message:
What is lib64termcap-devel useful for? Looks to me that both libraries do the same. Does it work if you deinstall lib64termcap-devel?

This is Mandriva 2010.0 and I installed the following packages:

Hi,

which distribution are you using? And which packages related to termcap.h do you have installed?

Thx
