[Help-nano] Configure Issues on a Mac

[MURL DONLEY]

I am running Mac OSX 10.5.8 (Darwin 9.8.0) on a MacBook with an Intel Core 2 Duo 7400 running at 2.16 GHz.

Prior to download nano 2.0.9    In the Terminal:

$ nano --version 

GNU nano version 2.0.1 (compiled 19:12:11, Sep 23 2007)

Email: address@hidden Web: http://www.nano-editor.org/

Compiled options: --disable-nls --enable-color --enable-extra --enable-multibuffer --enable-nanorc --enable-utf8

Therefore, after downloading and decompressing the archive, I selected the same compile, i.e., "configure"

options as listed above. That is, after cd to nano-2.0.9 folder:

$ ./configure --disable-nls --enable-color --enable-extra --enable-multibuffer --enable-nanorc --enable-utf8

This command seems to be working fine, but finishes with:

checking ncurses.h usability... yes

checking ncurses.h presence... yes

checking for ncurses.h... yes

checking for get_wch in -lncursesw... no

checking for initscr in -lncurses... yes

Using ncurses as the curses library

checking for use_default_colors in -lncurses... yes

configure: error:

*** UTF-8 support was requested, but insufficient UTF-8 support was

*** detected in your curses and/or C libraries.  Please verify that your

*** slang was built with UTF-8 support or your curses was built with

*** wide character support, and that your C library was built with wide

*** character support.

So, I cannot continue with "make" or "make install" and I am not competent to perform any of the indicated

verifications.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
