Re: Cursed by Curses

Was the patch you mentioned from Build Curses for Perl 5.8.0? That one has worked for several monks. Your error messages are what I expect if those patches have not been applied.

I really should send them to the Curses maintainer, but I'll wait to see how you do with them.

First of all, many thanks for responding to my rather, um, terse question. I have an account now, since I'm knee deep in Perl code - I'll likley be posting quite a bit. Anyways, yes, the patches in that link are the ones I applied. Actually, the linux patch utility failed on me when I went to apply them to the source of Curses - the patch to CursesFun.c errored out for some reason. I tried to hand apply the patch to the file, but that didn't work either (though I couldn't see why for the life of me). I'll try it again, and report the error that patch throws. Once more, thanks!
