Anyone seen this bug or know how to fix it. I have a problem getting
devel/p5-Curses working. Once installed if you go into the work/Curses-1.13 and
attempt to launch either demo.panel, demo.form, or demo.menu, it
returns:
Curses was not compiled with (panel, form, menu) support.

But when running the test applications in /usr/src/contrib/ncurses/test
everything works fine. Am I missing something?
