For some time now I have been trying to compile CVS zsh on a freebsdmachine. It fails on Src/Modules/terminfo.c


I have a similar problem on FreeBSD 4.8.  What's happening in my case is
that configure finds libtinfo (which, along with libtermcap and
libcurses, is just a symlink to libncurses), thus the
case "$LIBS" in *curses*) fails.

--with-curses-terminfo doesn't help because tinfo is still preferred.

Yes that is it -- /usr/lib/libtinfo* links to libncurses*. I see inother threads that #defining ERR has been proposed for other reasons. Iguess that will fix it, but still leave the implicit declarationwarnings. Seems it would be better to fix configure, assuming thislibtinfo link thing is something reasonably "standard".
