Thread: xterm help

ok im running linux RH7.3 and my console can accept colors.. cause itz xterm.. but the problem here is that im coding in ncurses... (i have posted this before but im tring to findout how to use ncurses in my console) but when i try to run the code all i see is just a gray little box on the left hand top corner of my screen so can anyone help me fix this to work on my term... ? thanx here is the code

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ncurses.h>

int main()
{

initscr();
noecho();
cbreak();
start_color();

              init_pair(2, COLOR_RED, COLOR_RED);
      attron(COLOR_PAIR(2));
      wprintf("hello colorz");
      refresh();
      attroff(COLOR_PAIR(2));


 sleep(3);
 endwin();
 return 0;

 }
