Or machines with "curses" packages that don't have a "beep" function.

If it reads something like "putchar('')", it probably means he stuck in a BEL
characer (control-G) between the single quotes, which is an evil thing to do;
better it should be "putchar('\007')".

On systems with the newer version of "curses".  Systems with older versions  of
"curses" (that do not, I think, have a "beep" function) need "-ltermlib".
