problems while applying patch-5.2-20010512.sh

[Byeong-ryeol Kim]

Hello,

I planned to make latest rpm package of ncurses-5.2, and downloaded all
patches from <ftp://dickey.his.com/ncurses/5.2/>.
But, I have a problem while applying patch-5.2-20010512.sh patch to vanilla
ncurses-5.2 source.

I use Red Hat 7.1(slightly different, ie., kernel-2.4.5-ac7, glibc-2.2.3-6,
bash-2.04-21, patch-2.5.4-9, sharutils-4.2.1-7, textutils-2.0.11-7, ...).
Though I used to apply big patches like patch-kernel-*, I haven't been
seeing a problem like this until today.
I don't know whether this problem is related with my system or not.

The error messages are as follows:

# tar xvzf ncurses-5.2.tar.gz
# cd ncurses-5.2
# sh ../ncurses-5.2-20010512.sh
...
