bug#9736: Configure error for emacs-24.0.90 with AIX 5.3


From: Glenn Morris
Subject: bug#9736: Configure error for emacs-24.0.90 with AIX 5.3

User-agent: Gnus (www.gnus.org), GNU Emacs (www.gnu.org/software/emacs/)

The error message says:

  I couldn't find termcap functions (tputs and friends). Maybe some
  development libraries/packages are missing? Try installing
  libncurses-dev(el), libterminfo-dev(el) or similar.

(I think the wording could be improved a bit.)

configure checks for the tputs function in any of libncurses,
libterminfo, and libtermcap. Your system does not seem to have any of
them:

collect2: library libncurses not found
collect2: library libterminfo not found
collect2: library libtermcap not found

Please try either installing one of these libraries and its header
files, or if they are already installed explicitly telling configure
where they are; eg:

CFLAGS=-I/path/to/terminfo/include LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/terminfo/lib ./configure
