Well that did the trick:)  /usr/include/asm didn't exist so I made
it a link to /usr/src/linux/include/asm which was a link to asm-i386
just as you said.  Now I just have to wade through all the buggy
"test code" that comes with ncurses.  I've tried about 5 different
source files.  You'd think they would send out stuff that works. 
Anyway thanks for your help:)  I'm just starting out learning "C" so
this is quite an adventure:)
