How did you diagnose the problem? I've just compiled and installed ncurses without error. I can at least call those three programs without any arguments just fine, but I didn't do any in-depth testing. Unfortunately, ncurses doesn't come with any built-in tests.

Ok thanks. Once we sort out what the problem actually is, I'm going to have to think about how best to do this; I think we should avoid having the build scripts remove cookies. We'll probably have to do some "pre-build" and "post-install" steps. Thanks, brandon
