curses module installation failed

[Florian Wolf]

Hi,

I am trying to install the curses module for perl 5.8.7 on hp-ux 11.23 ia64.
Unfortunately I get a lot of errors during the make progress. Here's an
extract of 'make':

I don't know where's the problem?! Please can you help me.

Another idea I have is to install an 'complete' version of perl, which
includes the most recently modules for programming an user interface. Is
there an depot file for hp-ux 11.23 ia64 available? And where can I download
this file? Any other ideas to solve this issue?

Thank you very much...

Do you know C? This error looks as if the # character were
missing from the beginning of line 7 in c-config.h. Please show
the contents of that file.

Here are the contents of c-config.h:

/* Hint file for the HP-UX platform.
*
* If this configuration doesn't work, look at the file "c-none.h"
* for how to set the configuration options.
*/

#include <curses.h>

#ifdef C_PANELSUPPORT
#include <panel.h>
#endif

#ifdef C_MENUSUPPORT
#include <menu.h>
#endif

#ifdef C_FORMSUPPORT
#include <form.h>
#endif

#define C_LONGNAME
#define C_LONG0ARGS
#undef C_LONG2ARGS

#define C_TOUCHLINE
#define C_TOUCH3ARGS
#undef C_TOUCH4ARGS
