 I think "curses" library is not a negligible library, so I think this
 problem is important.

 In Mac OSX Snow Leopard, "NCURSES_OPAQUE" is defined in
 /usr/include/curses.h as follows:

 {{{
 /*
  * Definition used to make WINDOW and similar structs opaque.
  */
 #ifndef NCURSES_OPAQUE
 #define NCURSES_OPAQUE 1
 #endif
 }}}


 This NCURSES_OPAQUE is nasty.
 Unless you define NCURSES_OPAQUE as 0 before including curses.h, WINDOW
 struct and a lot of important definitions are left out, thus making most
 source code using curses helpless.


 Solution is simple, pass "-DNCURSES_OPAQUE=0" to gcc or put "#define
 NCURSES_OPAQUE 0" somewhere before including curses.h.


 This problem is also suggested in Changeset 52086, by jeremyhu.
