LYNX-DEV Compile problem on SunOS 4.1.4/ncurses 1.9.8a (getbkgd missing)

[Hynek Med]

The compilation of the current development code ended with:

ld: Undefined symbol
   _getbkgd

It comes from lines around 533 of LYForms.c, and it's only in the
development code (i.e., not in pure 2-7-1):

#ifdef NCURSES
    LYsubwindow(form_window);
    wbkgd(form_window, getbkgd(stdscr));
#endif

It's perhaps because the ncurses are rather old (NCURSES_VERSION "1.9.8a" 
in ncurses.h) on the computer I tried it.. This is a grep of getbkgd in
ncurses.h:

extern int getbkgd(WINDOW *);                           /* missing */

So it looks getbkgd (whatever that is) isn't implemented yet?

If I'm right, shouldn't lynx/autoconf check the ncurses version and if
it's old, not use this? Or at least we should add this to the PROBLEMS
file?
