After (or also before) renaming libc6 or libm6 I attempted to compile 
playmidi in BL3 and got two pages of error messages relating to 
io_ncurses.c and line numbers and things that are undeclared or implicitly 
undeclared.

I have libncurses 1.9.9 from SW4.0 and some symlinks.

libncurses.so is a symlink to 1.9.9.

I have also libncurses.so.3 symlinks which points to so.3.4 which points 
to 1.9.9.  Mutt (from Christof) for some reason needs 'so.3 ' rather than 
so.  Grep is very cpu intensive (99.2%).

Libncurses is used to display by playmidi  - maybe it can be compiled to 
use svgalib instead?  Do Stephen with a 'ph' or David want to take a look 
at playmidi?   But I think it may not work with a sound card that is not 
AWE32.

I made a log file (make > log) and it only seems to have gotten as far as 
io_ncurses.c -o io_ncurses.o without making the latter.

There is something about /usr/include/ncurses in the log file.  I don't 
have /usr/include/ncurses.  Or /usr/lib/oss/include/sys.  And I did not 
insmod the sound modules here - do I need to?  (I don't have Christof;s
package installed here).

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable would like to take over.
