<br>
I ran across this issue several months ago and filed a bug report (#9667). It just came up again, and it doesn't look like anything's been done with the bug report, so I thought I'd post here.<br>
<br>
In _cursesmodule.c there are a lot of preprocesser conditionals that test if the system is NetBSD. In my case, the issue was that the module built lacked the KEY_UP / _DOWN / etc. constants, but there are other changes as well. This is the case even if you're compiling against ncurses instead of the system curses. Áttached below is a patch against 2.7.1 that negates the NetBSD conditionals if ncurses is present. It seems to work as expected, although I haven't done any real testing. I assumed this was done because NetBSD curses was missing something, but I looked at the headers and it seems to have most of the constants that the compilation directives are leaving out (A_INVIS, the aforementioned KEY_* constants, at least), so I'm not sure why that code isn't compiled in anyway. Please let me know if I'm misunderstanding this.<br>
