Hello,I am forwarding this from a user trying to compile tables
on gentoo. Are you aware of any problems compiling external
iraf packages on gentoo? Judging by the output of'mkpkg strip'(see below) it looks like there's something wrong with 'mkpkg'.
The error messages from 'mkpkg tables' start withWarning, mkpkg line 11: dependency file `<curses.h>' not found
Warning, mkpkg line 12: dependency file `curses.h' not foundextern.pkg and all system and iraf vaiables seem to be OK.
I'd appreciate any help you can give with this.Thank you,

Hi Nadia,
"curses.h" is a TABLES include file (tables$lib/curses.h), try
compiling with "mkpkg -p tables ..." to pick it up.Cheers,
