Shalom,

Search this site: http://hpux.ewi.tudelft.nl/

There are many locations around the world. Search for "HP Porting and archive centre in google.

You can use a tool called depothelper to take care of dependencies and install the product.

Hi:

> i need 64 bit ncurses package.

Why? You can run 32-bit programs on Itanium servers just fine. There is no need for a 64-bit binary for this program.

When compilig our code we are using -DUNIX -Ae -Dhpux -dynamic +z +DD64 as the compile option and hence 32 bit libncurses.so is failing to link.
