[Resolved] MySQL: make is failing

[Norman_Graham]

Hi all

Just trying to install MySQL 4.1.9 from source (SuSE 9.0 Pro). Configure runs fine, to the best of my very limited knowledge. The make command immediately produces the following error message:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

What have I done wrongly? Do I have to specify a make path in the configure command? I've used make successfully on several occasions before without having to do that. I have version 3.80-96 installed, as well as Automake 1.7.6-41.

I've attached the config.log as a zip file.

Thanks for your help

Norm 😕

PS: The last line of the output to the shell from the configure command is:

configure: error: No curses/termcap library found

Actually, there are plenty of curses eminating from my vocal chords, but that's not helping me understand the output.

Well, sometimes the obvious solution is indeed the solution. I installed ncurses-devel and termcap ... and hey presto, everything worked as intended.

A happy weekend to all
