Problems compiling ncurses

[Fahrvergnuugen]

I want to install ncurses so I can use BitchX
I used [all as root obviously]:

./configure --enable-symlinks

and it ended with:

** Configuration summary for NCURSES 5.2 20001021:

bin directory: /usr/local/bin
lib directory: /usr/local/lib
include directory: /usr/local/include
man directory: /usr/local/man
terminfo directory: /usr/local/share/terminfo

So everything looks ok....

make
(lots of stuff missing here)

Any ideas?

You can get a precompiled copy of ncurses here:
http://macosx.forked.net/ncurses-5.2.pkg.tgz
