I got a problem on HP-9000/825 (using HP-UX).  Can you help me out?

We are installing several new games on our machine and we have ran into
the exactly same problem.

When I tried to compile a couple of object files into a target file.  I keyed
in the cc command and according to the installation instruction, gave it a tail
of "-lcurses -ltermcap".  But the system gave me a error message like this:

> -ltermcap not found

We also tried "-ltermlib", it gave us the same message:

> -ltermlib not found

So we decided to threw away the "-ltermcap", we ran into other problem:

> /bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
>     ospeed (data)
>     random (code)
> *** Error code 1

Then we tried to read the manual of termcap.  The manual told us that we can
find a file called "termcap" in directory /etc.  Unfortunely, we can not 
find the file anywhere.

Does the file "termcap" have something to do with the "-ltermcap"???

Did I lose the file???

Does any of your people run into the problem before???   

Looking forward for your help.

Thanks alot,
