>Description:
	If you've installed ncurses, and are compiling with
	-I/usr/pkg/include, <curses.h> tries to find <unctrl.h> and ends
	up getting /usr/pkg/include/unctrl.h, which then unleashes horrors.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install ncurses from pkgsrc.  Try to use plain old curses.
>Fix:
	Well, a crappy workaround is
		#include "/usr/include/unctrl.h"

	A real fix is actually theoretically challenging; what we want to
	imply is that system headers should, in general, only ever see other
	system headers when including, I think... But I'm not sure how to
	do that!

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: maya@NetBSD.org
State-Changed-When: Thu, 10 Nov 2016 07:25:48 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
This was actually a pkgsrc issue then, which should have been by the commit to put ncurses headers in
/usr/pkg/include/ncurses, so they're not accidentially included by packages that aren't using pkgsrc
ncurses.
revision 1.34
date: 2009-07-12 20:23:13 +0300;  author: ahoka;  state: Exp;  lines: +24 -11;
Install ncurses headers to include/ncurses. This fixes a bug, when having
/usr/pkg/include in the header search path shadows some of the system's
curses headers (happens when building or developing curses application
outside of the pkgsrc build system).
