Greets! I maintain a vi clone, xvi.sf.net, which fails to build on arch linux. The issue follows: https://github.com/martinwguy/xvi/blob/master/issues/open/arch-linux-build-f... A user reports build failure on Arch Linux when the final link fails to find symbols tgoto, BC and UP. This recalls a similar issue on AIX, where one had to link with -lcurses and see also the #ifdef AIX phrases in src/tcap_src.c The AIX box that needed this doesn't have a libtermcap, while I see you do have one. Do you know which termcap that is? GNU or BSD or something else? I also see it's in local/ - does that mean it's been installed locally and is a version different from the Arch repository?
