Re: Bug building with glibc 2.2

[dan]

I got a response from elsewhere saying that i should try compiling
libstdc++-v3 sith stdio but i cannot seem to get any version of gcc to
compile with libstdc++-v3 so im still at a loss. Is there any kind of a
work around with ncurses for this bug yet??

Thanks,
Dan
