compilation error ncurses 5.2 - missing function

[Jean-Pierre Schwickerath]

Hello, 

I'm sorry if this problem has allready been discussed but I didn't find any
list archives ... :-(

I'm trying to compile ncurses 5.2 on a Linux From Scratch system.

I'm currently in a chrooted environment where I have gcc-3.0 pre (snapshot
March 5th) and glibc 2.2.2. 
Also I have the libstdc++ snapshot of this date. Bash 2.0.4 and gAWK 3.0.6 are
also present so as sed 3.0.2

I configured ncurses this way
/configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/lib --with-shared --disable-termcap

I want to build the c++ part and I get the following error... 
I added -I/usr/include/g++-v3 in the c++/Makefile.in 'cause gcc was complaining
about missing headers... 
Also, I looked for a vscan function, but I didn't find any neither in
/usr/include (and directories below) nor in ncurses-5.2/include nor
ncurses-5.2/c++
The closest function is extern "C" int vscanf(const char*, va_list); in
/usr/include/g++-v3/bits/std_cstdio.h

Does anyone have a hint or a solution?
