 * Q: While installing rasdaman I find out, during ''./configure'', that some further packages are required. Can you give a summary of these?

   A: Besides the standard ones which should be available on any vanilla Linux, it is this list:  ''g++ 4.x, make, git-core,  autoconf, libtool, gawk, flex, bison, [http://packages.debian.org/en/lenny/libreadline5-dev libreadline-dev], [http://www.postgresql.org postgresql 8.3.x], [http://packages.debian.org/en/lenny/libecpg-dev libecpg-dev], [https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewFilteredProducts-SingleVariationTypeFilter sun-java6-jdk], libtiff-dev, libjpeg-dev, [http://packages.debian.org/en/lenny/libhdf4g-dev libhdf4g-dev], [http://packages.debian.org/en/lenny/libpng12-dev libpng12-dev], [http://packages.debian.org/en/lenny/libnetpbm10-dev libnetpbm10-dev], libopenssl-devel''.

 * Q: Having done all the above, ''./configure'' complains about missing ''curses'' although ''ncurses'' is there.

   A: You have run into a [http://bugs.gentoo.org/67481 bug in the ncurses package]; in /usr/lib, manually create symlinks ''libcurses.a -> libncurses.a'' and ''libcurses.so -> libncurses.so''.
