It depends on what you have installed - I believe 2.7.2 has not been tested
recently on Linux.  I just checked, scrollok is a macro in the BSD curses
implementation.  (In ncurses, and probably Solaris which Fote did
test-build, it would be both a macro and a function).

So probably the fix for 2.7.2 is to add an include for LYCurses.h to the
modules that are referencing scrollok, and clearok.

(The 2.8pre development version builds correctly on all of the
configurations that I have available - it would be nice if someone were to
try building it for VMS so that we can resolve any build problems before
2.8 is released).
