Problem linking curses library during compilation

[dictum9]

when I compile the C program, I get this. There seems to be a problem with the makefile, it does not reference the right library, how I can fix it?

when I run it, I get this:

I see it as a problem linking the curses library. This is all on HP-UX 11.31, with ncurses 5.9 installed. Using the native CC compiler.

How can I fix this?

   Owing to my weak psychic powers and your problem description, only
one of us can see your makefile.  Or any of your "the C program".  Or
how you configured the builders before you said "make".  So I know
nothing, but...

   I don't see anything like "-lcurses" in your transcript.  You can
have all the software in the world "installed", but if you don't tell
the linker to use it, it may not matter if it's "installed" or not.

   Add "-lcurses" somehow/somewhere?

As Steven says, you need to add a -lcurses to your link line if you want libcurses.

Not much use in running it, if you have link time unsats, unless you don't call those functions.
