Re: [Ifeffit] Download Demeter in Ubuntu 18.04

Hi all,

I am using the following link to install Demeter from the source code. http://bruceravel.github.io/demeter/documents/SinglePage/installation.html

In step-1, when I do "./configure", it gives an error that says "could not find TERMCAP Libraries : 'make' will fail". Through internet sources, I found that, I require ncurses5 library because termcap library is obsolete for my version of Ubuntu i.e. Ubuntu 18.04 and also found that ncurses5 was already installed in my distribution. In this context, please guide me on the way forward to solve this problem.

I would definitely not bother to try to build or install PGPLOT. Even when using Ifeffit, Demeter does not use PGPLOT. I am not certain Ifeffit will build on Ubuntu 18.04 without some fiddling with the configuration files - I don't use Ubuntu and do not regularly test building Ifeffit. To be clear, development and support for the Ifeffit library stopped many years ago. Demeter binaries continue to use this, but they are built once. Building and installing Larch as the backend for Demeter is probably the simplest way to go. Hope that helps, --Matt Thanks,
