Hello!I am trying to install irssi on a remote server without having admin permissions..At first i installed the glib locally(which is needed for irssi) and then i tried to install irssi (running ./configure --prefix=$HOME) but the fact is that i get this error:
configure: error: Terminfo/termcap not found - install ncurses-devel package
Since i am familliar only with ubuntu distro (i don't know how rpms work) i found the ncurses from debian (
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/libncurses5-dev ) and i downloaded the source package. (
http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/ncurses ). I installed it again with the &HOME prefix but unfortunately i get the same error .Shouldn't it work ?
Anyway i also tried to install it with the rpm package (
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat...86_64.rpm.html ) using the --relocate option but i get this message :
rpm: --relocate and --excludepath may only be used when installing new packages
Can anyone help me?
Thanx in advance..
PS:The system i am trying to install irssi is
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
