It's really odd for them to be split between /usr/include > and /usr/include/ncurses/. IMO, yes, even if it is odd, they should be put in /usr/include/ncurses. At least programs won't have to be modified to use the ncurses version of unctrl.h like they would if you renamed it. The correct headers will be used by a simple switch to gcc - see below. > However, ncurses is not like readline -- it > doesn't like to install its header files into a subdirectory of > /usr/include.
