[Chicago-talk] Problem with installing Curses module

[Emil Janev]

Joseph,

Thanks for this information. Almost two months passed since I posted the original message on
Chicago.pm list.

What your talking in this posting was true from me. Actually I was pointed to this solution
upon my posting on comp.lang.perl.modules.

I tried the installation after changing Perl_sv_isa() to sv_isa() ( Curses.c ), and installed
succesfully Curses.pm on cygwin and Fedora 1.

I had in the meantime more bussy time at work than usual. While I autoresponded my posting on
"comp.lang.perl.modules" that I succeeded to install Curses.pm, I forgot to update
"Chicago.pm".

Sorry about that.
Hopefully if someone come upon the same problem, will find this information usefull.

Regards,
Emil
