After installing curses or ncurses on your system, did you re-run ProFTPD's configure script?

$ cd /path/to/proftpd-1.3.5b/
$ make clean
$ ./configure ...
$ make
$ make install

The detection of libraries like this happens during that configure phase, not at "make" time.

Hope this helps,
TJ

I think I found my issue, in the config.log I found

: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory

It look like the curses library were not installed

Thanks
David

doesn't proftpd from EPEL repository satisfy your needs? I did not build the server. I have never used EPEL repository. I will look into it.

Thanks

that's redhat enterprise linux, isn't it?
1. when you need to compile something with cursaes support, you need curses development package, not just the libraries.

2. doesn't proftpd from EPEL repository satify your needs?
