I ran a check on a system where I have an account, and it seems
also okay with g++.  The version may matter - on this particular
system, it was using an old version of g++.  (Sadly enough, newer
versions of gcc/g++ tend to not work well on older systems - that
could be your problem).

Well - basically the problem is that ncurses needs to use vsscanf,
and in the configure script, I have a check for some flavors that
might work.  The configure script checks for _this_ flavor first,
so either there's something wrong with the check (not that likely),
or your environment for configuring and building don't match, or
there's something broken in the compiler configuration.

What version of g++ are you using?
