What is a term library?

What is a term library?

[Joyce Tan]

Hi,

I'm trying to cross compile gdb-5.2.1 to an ARM
platform but I encountered an error while configuring.
This is how I entered configure "./configure
--host=armv4l-linux --build=i686-linux
--prefix=/root/gdb/gdb-5.2.1/output
--exec-prefix=/root/gdb/gdb-5.2.1/outputexec"
This is the error messages I got. What is a term
library?  Where do I get this term library?  Thanks.

For a GNU/Linux target, you're looking for "ncurses".
