-<para><userinput>sed 's/-ltermcap/-lncurses/' Makefile | make -f -:</userinput> 
-This will replace -ltermcap with -lncurses in the Makefile and pipe the
-output of sed (the modified Makefile) directly to the make program. This
-is an alternate and more efficient way to direct the output to a file
-and tell make to use that alternate file. We do this because libtermcap
-is declared obsolete in favor of libncurses.</para>
+<para><userinput>make LDLIBS=-lncurses :</userinput> This will use
+-lncurses instead of -ltermcap when building procinfo. This is done
