Logged In: YES user_id=6656 Do you have ncurses installed? It looks somewhat like configure is detecting ncurses but the module is being compiled against some lesser curses. Not sure, though.

Logged In: YES user_id=11375 I agree with Michael. The _ISPAD code is inside #ifdef WINDOW_HAS_FLAGS, which is detected by the configure script. It must be getting set to 1, but the compilation is picking up some different header files, or the same headers with different options. The 'implicit declaration of tigetflag' presumably means either your platform doesn't support tigetflag(), in which case the curses module will need more changes to support its absence, or the prototype is in some header file that isn't being included.

Logged In: YES user_id=77128 Today I rebuild 2.2.2 and had exactly the same problem. My fix -- I commented out the explicit "extern int setupterm" declaration: /* These prototypes are in <term.h>, but including this header #defines many common symbols (such as "lines") which breaks the curses module in other ways. So the code will just specify explicit prototypes here. */ //extern int setupterm(char *,int,int *); Comments: I have ncurses installed.

Logged In: YES user_id=6656 1) please don't dick with the priority... curses not building is never going to be priority 9, sorry 2) what version of ncurses do you have installed? 3) could you attach config.log/pyconfig.h?
