Hi All,

I am a newbie to OpenAFS and I am trying to build the 1.4.5 source code
on CentOS.  

I received an error "checking your AFS sysname... configure: error:
Couldn't guess your Linux version. Please use the --with-afs-sysname
option to configure an AFS sysname.".  I tried "i386_linux26" as the
sysname based on an email I saw on the mailing list and configure went
through fine.  However, make is now failing with the error message
"gtxcurseswin.h:18:42: error: ncurses.h: No such file or directory In
file included from input.c:24:".  Any thoughts on how I can resolve
this?

BTW, is OpenAFS even supported on CentOS?

Thanks,

Rini
