Undefined referrences in ttsl_drv.c

Hi Kent Boortz

Thanks a lot for your recommendation! It worked marvelously :-))
I installed something called "ncurses-devel" in SuSE 8.0
(described as "includes the development tools, headers
and static libraries for the New curses (ncurses)"),
erased the OTP R8B-1 subdirectories (just in case),
and ran "./configure" again (without stating any options).
Then I ran "make". It worked like a charme :-))
I tested the result with "bin/erl" and here was the Eshell V5.1.1

"make install" then ran without problems as well.


Have a nice weekend + cu on the bit stream
Thanks to Costel Vrinceanu for his tips as well!
