problem with #ident
I have an application which was originally compiled for AIX 4.3.3 which I am trying to compile with xlc 8 on aix 5.2. This app defines a macro called IDENT. Unfortunately, /usr/include/curses.h checks if IDENT is defined and if so, then defines #ident. Since #ident is apparently not supported by AIX preprocessor, you get an error.

My question is what is the file /usr/include/curses.h intended for (it is bounded by the macro #ifndef _AIX32_CURSES...#endif)? Is there any way to get around this without modifying the app's source?

Thanks!

curses is a library for driving tty screens in a device independant manner so you can do cursor control and fancy layout.

What is the curses file bounded by the aforementioned #ifndef?
