Anyone volunteer to create a FAQ for this group yet? Anyhow, this one
came up originally six or seven months ago and more recently about a
month and a half ago. The solution is to make sure that -lcurses is
the only display library being linked into the executable in
src/Makefile. I believe -ltermcap gets put in automatically when you
run the configuration script. Again no source modifications are needed
for porting this program...
