lynx-dev Compile problems w/ncurses

[Morten Bo Johansen]

Hi,


It seems like I can't compile Lynx with ncurses whereas it
compiles fine with slang.

I had the problem with dev21 so I thought I'd fetch the latest
pre6 version to see if the problem persisted before reporting. 

And it does.

Here is the output around the point where things go awry:


gcc  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
-DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/encap/lynx2-8-3/share/locale\" -I. 
-I.. -Ichrtrans -I./chrtrans -I.. -I../src -I../WWW/Library/Implementation   
-O2 -DLINUX -D_GNU_SOURCE  -c ./LYClean.c

                 from LYSignal.h:5,
                 from ./LYClean.c:4:

                 from ./LYClean.c:4:

make[1]: Leaving directory /home/mojo/src/lynx2-8-3/src'
make: *** [all] Error 2


And here is the output from the configure process grepping for
ncurses:

checking for screen type... ncurses
checking for ncurses header file... predefined
checking for ncurses version... 5.0.20000226
checking for initscr in -lncurses... yes
checking for ncurses version... (cached) 5.0.20000226
checking for obsolete/broken version of ncurses... no


Like I said there is no problem compiling with slang, using
slang 1.40.


As for the rest I am using SuSE 6.4.


This is the first time ever (2-3 years) that I've had any
problem compiling Lynx so I thought I'd report it.
