[vile] Errors building vile on FreeBSD

[chrisisbd]

I'm trying to build vile (ncurses based version) on a FreeBSD system.

I'm getting two problems, firstly there are some errors when I run
.configure:-

    checking for missing "tputs" extern... no
    checking for missing "tigetflag" extern... no
    checking for ispell... ispell
    Computing location to install filter programs: $(libdir)/vile
    configure: creating ./config.status
    config.status: creating makefile
    mv: makefile: set owner/group (was: 5558/0): Operation not permitted
    config.status: creating filters/makefile
    mv: filters/makefile: set owner/group (was: 5558/0): Operation not permitted
    config.status: creating filters/makefile.tmp
    mv: filters/makefile.tmp: set owner/group (was: 5558/0): Operation not 
permitted
    config.status: creating config.h
    config.status: config.h is unchanged
    Checking for built-in filters: none
    Checking for external filters: all


I ignored these errors as they seem to be just permission setting
errors, I think, and then I get an error during compilation:-

    cd filters && make - prefix=/home/isbd DESTDIR= all
    gcc -c -I. -I.  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -D_BSD_TYPES -D__BSD_VISIBLE 
-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 -DVILE_ICON=\"icons/vile.xbm\" 
-DVILE_LIBDIR_PATH=\"'/home/isbd/lib/vile'\" 
-DVILE_STARTUP_PATH=\"'/home/isbd/share/vile'\" -g -O2 
-DHELP_LOC=\"/home/isbd/share/vile\" curses.c
    In file included from tcap.h:38,
                     from curses.c:16:
    /usr/include/curses.h:236: conflicting types for `wchar_t'
    /usr/include/stddef.h:59: previous declaration of `wchar_t'
    *** Error code 1


Any ideas what may be wrong and/or how I can work around this?
