The problem is that all the routines you need aren't in Slibcurses.a.
You will also need to include either Slibtermcap.a or Slibtermlib.a.
I have seen either or both on various machines and they are usually just
a copy of each other so it doesn't matter which one you use.
So, try     'cc file.c -lcurses -ltermlib'
			and good luck.
