[Chicken-users] ncurses egg build failure

[Matt Gushee]

Hi, all--

I am trying to install the current (4.0) ncurses egg on Linux (2 
different Linux boxes, one running Arch Linux, the other Slackware 12, 
both reasonably up-to-date systems), and I get the following on both 
systems:

bash-3.2$ chicken-install ncurses

Anybody know what's going on here? TIA for any help.
