It appears there's a problem with the "ncurses" includes in Red Hat
3.0.3 and maybe others. I discovered this while trying to compile MUTT.
The following test illustrates the problem:
echo "#include <ncurses.h>">try.c ; gcc -M try.c
In file included from try.c:1:
/usr/include/ncurses.h:30: unctrl.h: No such file or directory
This error message results because "/usr/include/ncurses.h" is a symlink
to "/usr/include/ncurses/curses.h" and this file includes "unctrl.h" which
is located in the "ncurses" directory (*not* in "/usr/include).
After prepending "ncurses/" to all references of this type the following
resulted:
echo "#include <ncurses.h>">try.c ; gcc -M try.c
try.o: try.c /usr/include/ncurses.h /usr/include/ncurses/curses.h \
/usr/include/stdio.h /usr/include/features.h /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h \
/usr/include/libio.h /usr/include/_G_config.h \
/usr/include/ncurses/unctrl.h \
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2/include/stdarg.h

Any unforseen problems with the above fix?
Thanks.
