curses question

[Tim Newsham]

Hi,

  I was trying to build ncurses the other day (1.9.9g) and ran
into a few problems.  I know lots of people have built ncurses,
but I haven't seen a list of things to do to get it to work.
The configure and build work fine, but "make install" does not.
I fixed the ".exe" problem in the install of the "progs" directory,
but when it goes to build the term databases it fails with a number
of errors.  I tried both with normal directories, and building
with the src on a "binary" mount, and installing with /tmp as
a binary mount, all with the same results.  What do I have to
do to get the term database built?

                                            Tim N.
