[OPEN-ILS-DEV] RE: installing memcached on FC6

[Natasha Stephan]

Well, this is probably another case of answering myself.

For libncurses, there's no package with that name but I have several files in /usr/lib with the name.  So a big duh on my part... sorry.

And I'm guessing that libreadline is the same deal.  No package on my server with that name, but files exist in /usr/lib.  I'll go ahead and install -devel just in case I need the headers.

Thanks again, all,
Natasha
