Hi Benno,

2.6.1 - not successful 

1. Deleted the file /usr/include/ncurses.h
2. ran ./configure
3. ran make clean
4. make - > Failing 

Find the outputs below


  echo "Making $target in $subdir"; \
  if test "$subdir" = "."; then \
    dot_seen=yes; \
    local_target="$target-am"; \
  else \
    local_target="$target"; \
  fi; \
  (CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd $subdir && make  $local_target) \
  || eval $failcom; \
done; \
if test "$dot_seen" = "no"; then \
  make  "$target-am" || exit 1; \
fi; test -z "$fail"
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'
Current working directory /tmp/nano-2.7.4
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all'

Okay.  So, if I understand correctly, all that is required to make a recent 
nano compile on Solaris is to copy curses.h one directory up, /and/ to use GNU 
make?

To verify, if you now delete that copied /usr/include/ncurses.h again, and run 
./configure && make clean all in the nano-2.7.4 directory, the build fails 
again?

Also, did you try compiling 2.6.1?  Did it succeed or fail?

Benno
