Has anyone got the FreeBASIC compiler to work under Dapper Drake?
This free, highly QB-compatible compiler is just what I want for casual
hacking, but it fails because it wants to link "ltermcap." From the
initial "l", it looks like a library. Termcap is a terminal-description
file that exists in my Dapper system, but there is no such library.

FreeBASIC runs in other Linux distros (and 32-bit Windows, and even DOS
with DPMI), but I like Ubuntu.
