I am having problems installing ncurses.  It compiles after fixing a
few minor errors, but does not seem to be installing correctly.  

For one, it replaces the 1K clear command with an 11K version that 
causes a core dump.  I also can't compile ANY of the test programs
in the ncurses program.  It gives me an error with not finding a /tmp
file when I try and compile any of them.

ncftp compiles, but doesn't use curses.. and lynx will compule with
the netbsd-ncurses or freebsd-ncurses, but crashes.. and gives about
a hundred unrefrenced symbol errors when used with the bsdi option.

Any help?  Thanks.
