Neither has been a problem on Gentoo. However... > What does line 843 of your > |/usr/include/curses.h| actually say?

Dickey ncurses' 'configure' script has options --enable-const and --disable-const. When ncurses is built with --disable-const, tigetstr()'s parameter has type char *, when built with --enable-const, it has type const char *. When neither is specified, default is --disable-const for ncurses 5, and --enable-const for ncurses 6. On my computer: $ grep -E '(define NCURSES_CONST|tigetstr)' /usr/include/curses.h #define NCURSES_CONST const extern NCURSES_EXPORT(char *) tigetstr (NCURSES_CONST char *); /* implemented */ I can't check what is the case for CentOS, asuming it ships Dickey ncurses, but I could bet... G.
