 E.3 Curses Notes
 ================
 
 If you are having problems compiling `check_funs.cpp' then the most
 likely reason is due to incompatibilities with the curses
 implementation on your system.  You should first try disabling the
 "wide" curses library by with the `--disable-wide-curses' configure
 option..  By doing so you will lose support for properly displaying
 UTF-8 characters but you may still be able to get the full screen
 interface.  If this fails than you can disable curses support
 altogether with the `--disable-curses' configure option.  By doing this
 you will lose the nice full screen interface but hopefully you will be
 able to at least get Aspell to compile correctly.
 
    If the curses library is installed in a non-standard location than
 you can specify the library and include directory with
 `--enable-curses=LIB' and `--enable-curses-include=DIR'.
 
    `LIB' can either be the complete path of the library--for example
      /usr/local/curses/libcurses.a
    or the name of the library (for example `ncurses') or a combined
 location and library in the form `-LLIBDIR -lLIB' (for example
 `-L/usr/local/ncurses/lib -lncurses').
 
    DIR is the location of the curses header files (for example
 `/usr/local/ncurses/include').
 
 E.3.1 Unicode Support
 ---------------------
 
 In order for Aspell to correctly spell check UTF-8 documents in full
 screen mode the "wide" version of the curses library must be installed.
 This is different from the normal version of curses library, and is
 normally named `libcursesw' (with a `w' at the end) or `libncursesw'.
 UTF-8 documents will not display correctly without the right curses
 version installed.
 
    In addition your system must also support the `mblen' function.
 Although this function was defined in the ISO C89 standard (ANSI
 X3.159-1989), not all systems have it.
