I'm sorry, I was rather terse. Read the clc FAQ, or "welcome to CLC" or
something like that. You'll get the picture. Here are URL's:

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...ebc1119?hl=en&

This newsgroup is for discussion of the C language as defined by the
relevant ANSI or ISO standards. Your question deals with a build problem
for a well known package.

My guess is that you will get much better expert help from people who use
your platform, people who deal with curses, or people who deal with Perl.
There is some possibility that you could find help at
comp.unix.programmer, but check first before posting.

Anyway, good luck with your problem. Build problems can be very
frustrating!

I'm posting to all three groups without setting followups this time since
it now appears likely that the question is not entirely topical in any of
the groups.
