Description of problem: The package ncurses-devel installs a directory full of examples and tests under /usr/share/doc/ncurses-devel-<version>/test, but those can't be built: $ cp -R /usr/share/doc/ncurses-devel-5.6/test/ /tmp $ cd /tmp/test/ ./configure is not executable, running it errors out (old autoconf stuff?) For e.g. blue, the file states to compile by: cc -O blue.c -lcurses -o blue This should be (it includes local files): gcc -I. -O blue.c -lncurses -o blue but that fails due to missing test.priv.h Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Sorry, turned an incomplete report in. ncurses-devel-5.6-15.20080112.fc9.i386 Fixing up the source I got blue to build (I needed it for another report).
In ncurses-5.6-16.20080301.fc9 the missing install-sh was added to the test directory. Documentation shouldn't have executable files, but sh ./configure && make should work now. Thanks for the report.
