Do you have yast2-ncurses installed on your PC? I was thinking this is installed by default but you might open up YaST / Software / Software Management and search on the term ncurses and see what you get. How did you install mp3blaster? I see that you can install it from YaST if you have added in the Packman repository. How are you trying to run mp3blaster? I see that this is a text only program that must be run from a terminal session AND it must be configured before it can be used. The program does run on my PC. but I did not bother to configure it as it seems like a waste of time to use this over say Amarok or Banshee.
Thank You,
The following ncurses are installed:
libncurses5
libncurses6
ncurses-utils
yast2-ncurses
yast2-ncurses-pkg
I try to install mp3blaster by downloading the tar file, extracting, and running configure which runs but ends up with the errors i posted. The reason I wanted to give it a try was that i am having difficulty getting Banshee to rip cd’s to mp3 and I wondered if it was possible to do so with mp3blaster. Ideally I would like to have Banshee do this.
Thanks

I never compiled this special software myself, but in general if you compile
software it is not enough to have the libraries installed but also the devel
packages for it. In your case this should be the package ncurses-devel.
It may be that configure will later complain about something else it misses,
but give it a try.

Since you can find the precompiled version of mp3blaster in Packman, I suggest you use it instead. AND, if you need a good CD ripper, why not try using Asunder instead (search for asunder in YaST with Packman added as a repository)?
Thank You,
