>Description:
Which building a nscurses-based perl module, I get the error:
 Undefined symbol "acs_map" at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/DynaLoader.pm line 169.

Research reveals:

john-whorfin% nm /usr/lib/libncurses.* | grep acs_map
         U acs_map
00000200 C acs_map
000108d8 B acs_map
000108d8 B acs_map

/usr/include/ncurses.h contains 'extern  chtype acs_map[]', but nothing seems 
to define it...
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build the perl module Curses-1.02 with the hint file hints/c-freebsd.ncurses.h

 I can't reproduce the problem easily on CURRENT. Could you send me
 exactly the steps you took to create the Makefile (perl Makefile.PL?).
 I've problems with SCREEN being undeclared (/usr/include/ncurses.h) is
 included nowhere.

I'm unable to reproduce this - does this problem still occur with 3.4 or 
3.5?

 It looks more like a problem with the linker - the acs_map is declared 'C'
 (common) according to the grep.
