for texinfo to be compiled properly). Added --with-curses to bash's
configure again like previously done. This now functions as a test to
make sure the libraries are setup properly (ie; that symlink created and
such)

<para>It is not strictly necessary for the static bash to be linked
against libncurses (it can link against a static termap for the time

where we will use libncurses), but it's a good test to make sure that
the ncurses package has been installed properly. If not, you will get in
trouble later on in this chapter when you install the Texinfo package.

<title>Installation of Bash</title>
<para>Install Bash by running the following commands:</para>
<para>Before you attempt to install Bash, you have to check to make sure
your distribution has the <filename>/usr/lib/libcurses.a</filename> and
<filename>/usr/lib/libncurses.a</filename> files. If both of the files
are missing, you have to install the ncurses development package. This
package is often call something like <emphasis>ncurses-dev</emphasis>.</para>
<para>If this package is already installed, or you just did it, check
for the two files again. Often the <filename>libcurses.a</filename> file
is (still) missing. If so, then create <filename>libcurses.a</filename>
as a symlink by running the following commands:</para>
<para><screen><userinput>cd /usr/lib &amp;&amp;</userinput>
<userinput>ln -s libncurses.a libcurses.a</userinput></screen></para>
