Well, that depends on how you define easy.  The error your getting is
because the C++ code is trying cast a pointer to an array.  I remember this
error when I was compiling ncurses on my NetBSD/macppc machine.  Simply go
to those lines mentioned (55, and 77) in file cursesw.cc a remove the type
casts, then try to compile again.
