Did you do an ``initscr()''?
In any event, unless you're using [n]curses for screen management,
you probably don't want to use [n]curses -- Terminfo is sufficient:
tgetent(buffer,getenv("TERM"))
BL = tgetstr("bl",...)
tputs(BL,...)
however, for the simplest case, the following usually works:
fputc('\007',stderr)
If you're coding an X11 application, then you need to use:
XBell(...)
And finally, if you've configured your kernel with:
pseudo-device speaker #Play IBM BASIC-style noises out your speaker
you can do:
echo -n C >/dev/speaker
