I just installed the ncurses package on 10.1.1 and I don't think it got installed. I ran the installer as root, but i ran ettercap and it is not in color. Does anyone know where ncruses is supposed to live? a "find / -name ncurses" reveals nothing. In addition, anyone know how to add /usr/local/bin to my path? I am using bash and I think it is different than tcsh. thanks Aaron

ettercap is supposed to be in color? hmmmmm. anyway, ncurses on my machine is here:
/usr/local/include/ncurses.h
/usr/local/lib/libncurses.a
/usr/local/lib/libncurses.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libncurses.dylib.5
/usr/local/lib/libncurses.dylib.5.2
/usr/local/lib/libncurses_g.a not sure how to add to the path in bash. i'd say start digging out rc and/or .login files. if there doesn't seem to be any, create one. -------------------- -- -willy

In the rc scripts for whatever shell you're running (~/.bash_profile for bash), you can put in a line similar to the following: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin That'll append /usr/local/bin to the existing PATH environment variable set by the system. As a tip, you may want to try the "locate" command instead of the global find. See locate(1) and locate.updatedb(8) for more help. Basically, locate.updatedb runs as a cron job to do a global search of everything and hashes it to a file. Running locate will look in that cache instead of doing a fresh search through everything each time like find. Of course, if you're looking for something that's been updated since the last updatedb job ran, locate won't find it.
