Do you have /usr/local/bin in your /etc/ld.so.conf? If not, add it and
then run /sbin/ldconfig (as root).

These are the ncurses header files (ncurses-devel).

Hmm, I'll have to check this. Configure should check for ncurses...

Yep, preset and oscillator files aren't included in the cvs tree, but
you'll find them in dist packages. Hmm, I guess there's no harm adding
these to cvs...

Hmm, you can use configure options --with-qt-dir=/some/path,
--with-qt-libraries=... and --with-qt-includes=... to bypass this problem.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback. It seems that installing ecasound on a
Mandrake 7.x box isn't as straightforward as it should be.
