Re: [Chicken-users] ncurses egg build failure

[Andri Möll]

Hello,

I encountered the same issue a few days ago.
Sjamaan from #chicken recommended upgrading to the SVN version.
If after upgrading the compilation stumbles upon a missing binding of
'err', replace (define ERR err) with (define ERR ERR_) in one of the
ncurses-egg's source files.
