Summary: 2.0b2 curses module fails to build on SGI

Details: I didn't see this in the database.

Trying to build 2.0b2 here on SGI IRIX 6.5.  I have this
line in Setup:

     _curses _cursesmodule.c -lcurses -ltermcap

This used to work on 1.5.2 on IRIX 6.5, but it doesn't with 2.0b2.

Here is a digested version of the errors:

cc -n32  -O -KPIC -I./../Include -I.. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./_cursesmodule.c

Comment:
I don't know, but I think this may be caused by IRIX having an old, incompatible version of curses. So it probably won't work. Too bad. You may be able to get a different curses implementation (there must be a free one that comes with Linux???).
