LCD Proc help

[PranksterO]

I just installed LCDProc. When I type "LCDd" I get the message:

invalid driver: curses
Could not load driver curses
There is no output driver

My display is a parallel HD44780 compatible display. Any ideas on this?

What's the output of this command?:
LCDd --help
--or--
LCDd -h

They probably output the same thing, but just in case...

Just put the output in this thread.

That error looks like your config is telling the program to use a curses based virtual display, you need to edit your config file(can't remember where it is, but the lcdproc site should tell you all about it) and make sure you tell it what display you're using and where it is, that's my guess based on my limited use of LCDproc, someone correct me if I'm horribly wrong.

DerekKraan, are you trying to be a smart a$$ or is that just how i read it? I only post here if I can get around the problem myself. But thank you for your helpful tip!

I did edit the LCDd.conf file to use the hd44780 driver. I get this error no matter what I edit the config file to. The lcdproc website says that the LCDd.conf file should be located in the /etc/ folder. Mine wasnt in there after I compiled and installed the program. Is anyone elses config file not located in the /etc/ folder? Can somone post a working config?

I copied the config file to /etc/ and it works now.
