Sigh.  One just can't win.  Does IRIX use <sys/dir.h> or does it use
<dirent.h> ?  The #ifs in glob.h assume that -DSYSV and -DDIRECTORY used
together means that #include <dirent.h> should be performed.  Take a look
at "man 3 directory" or poke around in /usr/include and see which one you
should be using.  One of those two files should typedef DIR, and then the
rest of your problems will go away.  Just change glob.h to #include the
correct one.

Curses shouldn't have anything to do with it -- use of the directory
functions does not depend on -DCURSES.
