Re: [Help-nano] Backspaceproblem and glibc 2.3 problem

[Paul Fotheringham]

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response guys.

Jordi first. I am using ncurses-5.2-27mdk which I think is the most up to date 
rpm for Mandrake.

Chris, I tried the source rpm and it works! Thanks. Unfortunately I still have 
the first of my two problems. I'll look at trying to get the source for 
ncurses.

Thanks again.

Paul.
