Description Daryll 2009-03-09 00:44:28 UTC 
If you install ncurses-devel-5.6-20.20080927.fc10.i386 which is the latest released fedora core 10 version.

Then the file /usr/lib/libtermcap.so is a text file containing

INPUT(-ltinfo)

Instead of an actually shared library.

I'm also guessing there should a /lib/libtermcap.so.<something> which doesn't exist at all.
Comment 1 Miroslav Lichvar 2009-03-09 08:01:24 UTC 
libtermcap was dropped few releases ago and all applications should use libncurses (or libtinfo directly) instead.

The .so file should allow linking with libtinfo where -ltermcap is used.
