Hello everyone.

I've been an absent lurker ever since my ISP severed news service.  I
recently remembered that a mailing list is also available, so I am back.

I would like to start by asking about ncurses.  This is really on behalf
of a friend.  She is using ncurses on the school mainframe, and hence
has (with borland) not avenue to compile at home.

The PDCurses lib looks great, but her project uses the ncurses libs
'form' and 'menu' in conjunction with the typical 'panel' and 'ncurses.

I have downloaded ncurses and all of the *utils from v2gnu, but I get an
error running 'bash configure':

configure:1023: PATH=".;."; conftest.sh
configure: (null): Invalid argument (EINVAL)
configure:1026: $? = 126
configure:1043: result: Configuring NCURSES 5.3 ABI 5 (...)
configure:1073: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub

So, my question is: does anyone have either a ncurses/panel/form/menu .a
files, or a solution to correct the above failure.  I believe I need
'configure' to run, to create header files needed by the source, so I am
very stuck.

Thanks, especially for DJ for a wonderful product!
