SPUG:Curses add on problem

[Dahlke, Doug]

Yes Jay, I tried that.. Unfortunately there is a bug from the Sun
Solaris library that stayed with SCO and a library call gets added twice
without protection, so the compile doesn't complete.  Something about
bool being defined twice, as it is in curses.h plus another library.  I
followed the README help and the library compiles ok, but when I try to
run the demo, I get the old can't find the loadable library from Perl's
Autoloader routine.  I've seen this before and can't remember what I did
to fix it.  I was hoping someone in Seattle's group could remember it.
Thanks for the reply.

Are you using the CPAN installer configured to follow installations? I
don't know to much about SCO (especially after their IBM debunkle). But
if yoy use the CPAN shell to do the instalation, It makes a good
install.
Try: $ perl -MCPAN -e shell;
