ncurses/Darwin

I am using Darwin on Mac OS X.I.I (new to both Unix and C++).

I downloaded the ncurses library from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnu-darwin/ncurses-5.2.tgz,
but I don't know what to do with it now. Stuffit has expanded the archive, but I still have the original .tgz as well (if that's necessary). Can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to do next? Thanks.

P.

hmmm is that MacOS Unix? well if it is then you need the gzip utility to uncompress it and then the tar (always comes with OS).
it will create the proper directory in which you ll find the INSTALL file. Read it.
