That's a feature.  The Unix linker has never linked in libraries
automatically.  Also, you need to specify the libraries in the right
order.  While "-lcurses -ltermcap" works, "-ltermcap -lcurses" won't.

With older linkers it was not unusual to have to specify libraries
twice to resolve external references from libraries named later on the
command line.

You don't need to quote my .signature.  Everyone has seen it by now.
Besides, it doesn't add anything to the current thread.
