Actually I was figuring that you wouldn't pick this one... Dev-Cpp isn't my favorite kind of compiler, since they do a lot of windows stuff that I don't know about yet. You might need to ask someone else, if things go much more awry.
Well, do you remember what you did before? If you were using an older version of Dev-Cpp then, that version might be best for you.
If you want to ignore the devpack:
first, download these files
Usually, on a Linux system, you'd need to download the files and use a program called "make" to set some really cool examples and testing programs up. (make is used to compile the example and testing programs, you might still be able to compile them manually, if it works right. I think they're all in c).
So, you can download the files, copy all of them to the Dev-Cpp/lib folder (where most libraries go), and then use the linker option to include curses stuff (along with the normal "#include <curses> ).
To do that, while you're compiling any project with curses, hold down the "alt" key and press "p" (alternatively, go the project on the left, right click it, and click project options). Under project options, pick the parameters tab, and under "linker" type "-lcurses". (this is equivalent to a linux machine's "gcc program.c -lcurses on the command line)
That should work.
In other news, Dev-Cpp still doesn't work at all for me, so I think I'll stick with MinGW.
