On an Ubuntu machine, I installed (apt-get): libncurses5, libncursesw5 ,
ncurses-base ncurses-bin and bison. It will take 5 minutes to your
administrator. Then it will be ok.
t.d.
Is this a common or obscure package?
As a test, I tried to see if it would install on Solaris, which it did, despite
having a very obvious bug in it.
There is a bit of code in spkg-install which says:
if [ $UNAME = "SunOS" ]; then
cp pathces/Makefile.sun src/Makefile
else
cp patches/Makefile src
fi
Note the mis-spelling "pathces". So the Sun makefile never gets copied on
Solaris (SunOS). Because of this, the spkg-install script reports:
cp: cannot access pathces/Makefile.sun
but it still works! I wonder why someone decided to add a Sun-specific Makefile,
only to not bother testing if that Makefile got used or not.
