2005-01-08 If you are have a problem building on OpenBSD and see output like thiswhile running configure: checking curses.h presence... yesconfigure: WARNING: curses.h: present but cannot be compiledconfigure: WARNING: curses.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?configure: WARNING: curses.h: see the Autoconf documentationconfigure: WARNING: curses.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"configure: WARNING: curses.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's resultconfigure: WARNING: curses.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence there is likely a problem that will prevent building python.  If you see the messages above and are able to completely build python,please tell python-dev@python.org indicating your version of OpenBSDand any other relevant system configuration. The build error that occurs while making may look something like this:     /usr/include/sys/event.h:53: error: syntax error before "u_int"    /usr/include/sys/event.h:55: error: syntax error before "u_short" To fix this problem, you will probably need update Python's configurescript to disable certain options.  Search for a line that looks like:     OpenBSD/2.* | OpenBSD/3.@<:@012345678@:>@) If your version is not in that list, e.g., 3.9, add the versionnumber.  In this case, you would just need to add a 9 after the 8.If you modify configure.in, you will need to regenerate configurewith autoconf. If your version is already in the list, this is not a known problem.Please submit a bug report here:     http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=5470&atid=105470
