"The ncurses(new curses) library is a freely distributable replacement

for the discontinued 4.4 BSD classic curses library."

I do see though that the 3-14-10 version seems to use libcurses and
3-14-11 uses libncurses. What is the difference between these?

I think that is the 32-bit version, and you need the 64-bit version,
which will be in usr/lib64

I think it is installed, there is a libncurses.so.5 file in /usr/lib.

Install ncurses library by yourself.

Thank you, that seems to have worked. However, now it errors on
'cannot find
-lncurses' for g++ -o alh.

This is a common change required in 3.14.11.
You need to "#include menuYesNo.h" and YES needs to be changed to
menuYesNoYES.

Hi,

I was wondering, I get a compile error on force.c when running make on
the alarm handler with epics-3-14-11, on 64 bit linux:
