This is the first program I tried to compile..
The configure is perfect...
when I make it, I get this error a lot:
./term.c:1487: warning: passing arg 3 of `tputs' from incompatible pointer type

like in every line of term.c ... any suggestions?
email me at robs@sv3.com .. thanks!

warnings aren't any problem. Where did compiling actually stop? There should be an "Error <bleh bleh bleh>. Stop." type line. Might be good to peruse a book on make :). Anywho, could you post the complete error? ie from the last warning down to the command prompt.
 
term.c:1812: warning: passing arg 3 of `tputs' from incompatible pointer type
make[1]: *** [term.o] Error 1
make: *** [BitchX] Error 2

there it is!
I don't pretend to know anything about programming :)

I also get this problem when trying to compile under OS X 10.0.4 (Darwin 1.3.7). Quite a few lines show this 'tputs' thing. The last two lines of 'make' are:

Code:
make[1]: *** [term.o] Error 1
make: *** [BitchX] Error 2

I have reason to believe that this could be a OS X/Darwin specific problem.. but then again there IS a precompiled binary on bitchx.org so someone did something right..
 
Search around for directions on how to compile it for Solaris. That worked for me under the public beta at least
