Howsit Peter This is complaining that the Python curses package (ncurses) is not installed. This is used by "scroll" and is not realy used elsewhere in corr. In general it is not needed other than for pretty screen printouts in the corr scripts. It's a standard package in Linux (and Mac) so I got a little lazy here. I am about to release 0.6.6 and will try'n change things so that this isn't needed by default.
However, I suspect that even without this dependancy, there will be other standard packages either missing or with subtly different function calls. This error is probably the first of many. I am willing to make quick, easy changes to corr in order to get it working on Windows. But I don't actually develop on Windows and so unless someone is willing to beta test every version, I will not be able to maintain Windows compatibility.
