Hi,

After implementing your suggested changes I still am unable to install curses. Whether or not it is the same problem I am not sure, I no longer recieve the "incompatible pointer type". Bellow in a readmore is all the gory details.

Running Mac OS X Darwin Kernel Version 6.5 (10.2.5)
perl v5.8.0
GCC version 1175, based on gcc version 3.1 20020420 (prerelease)

perl Makefile.PL
GEN support: not applicable
PANELS support: not enabled
MENUS support: not enabled
FORMS support: not enabled

Making a guess for $inc and/or $libs...
Making a guess for "c-config.h"...
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Curses

make output:
