Re: [gentoo-alt] [AIX] ncurses fails on AIX 5.2

Yep, trying it now. In any event, my victory was very short lived as it
later fails compilation due to missing declarations:

/home/mdmcmull/plauncher/prefix-launcher-1rc.20071117/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/lib/gcc/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/4.1.1/../../../../include/c++/4.1.1/cstdio:109: error: '::fgetpos' has not been declared

Anyhow, trying ncurses 5.5 on AIX 5.2 now, and will report.

Could you check if 5.5 has the same problem please?
