[周涛]

i have installed ncurses-devel, but the libtinfo.so.5.9 path is :
/usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5.9

$ nm -D /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5.9 | grep tgetnum
4cec7ab0 T tgetnum 
$ nm -D /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5.9 | grep UP

This one's quite common -- it should probably be a FAQ.

It happens because you have the libtinfo library missing:

$ nm -D /usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.5.9 | grep tgetnum
0000003520012350 T tgetnum
$ nm -D /usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.5.9 | grep UP
0000003520228e68 B UP

This library is part of ncurses.  Make sure ncurses-devel is installed
(or whatever the equivalent is on your distro, maybe libncurses-dev),
and then you *must* rerun ./configure.
