I see how it is... ya'll are just TRYING to complicate my life... making m
compile ncurses as well... humph... ;)

We just upgraded our main system from 10.01 to 10.20, and they haven't
installed the gcc for the new version, so I basically can't compile
anything with gcc... so, I went to compile on another machine with 9.07,
and it barfed on the check for c++... I disabled that, and I compiled with
the defaults, and it couldn't find the terminfo (cause I can't install
it)... sigh... SO... I'm compiling ncurses now with --prefix="/usr" hoping
that I can use HP's terminfo stuff for testing purposes...  Argh... still
no go... trying --enable-termcap since this machine doesn't have terminfo
in /usr/share (only in /usr/lib)... Well, it SORTA works... for VT100
only, and the displays on the test programs are NOT correct.

Any suggestions on building a copy of ncurses without installing it for
the purposes of testing lynx built with ncurses?
