help installing ncurses 4.1

[John Cook]

OK, in my continuing effort to build vim-5.0p under gnuwin32 
b18, I have downloaded ncurses-4.1 from Thomas Dickey's Web 
page.  'configure --prefix=//e/gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32' 
and 'make' ran to completion, but 'make install' fails after 
the following steps (Please see the attachement for the 
complete glorious run of error messages):

  ** Building terminfo database, please wait...
  ** adjusting tabset paths

...Can anyone tell me how to make this work?

I made only the following mods the the sources:

1) remove 'rm include/config_h' lines from configure and 
configure.in files

2) added '.exe' to executable names for progs/Makefile 
'install' target.

Both of these were per a suggestion from the mailing list 
archive; I ran into the progs/Makefile problem when I tried 
configuring, making, and installing 'out of the box'.

I am running Sergey's 'coolview' version of cygwin.dll, 
dated 10-13-97.  

Thanks,

John
