Trouble Compilng Ircd

["Christopher R. Redinger" <redinger@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi. I'm attempting to compile ircd for the first time, and am not having 
much luck. I'm running Red Hat Linux (2.0.30). It build ircd just fine, and 
it starts to compile irc just fine, but when it gets to trying to actually 
link all the files into irc, it gives me the following error message:
ld: cannot open -lcurses: no such file or directory
And then quits the build

My understanding is that this part is just for the actual irc client? (I 
hope) If this is the case, I don't really need it as I'm only interested in 
running the server, but it would be nice to understand where that error 
message is coming from.

Of course, if I do need that part to run the server, then I really need 
help. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Be seeing you,
	Christopher
