I am getting a Bus Error with this very simple application, on my MacBook Pro: Is this me or libcurses in cause? main is declared as returning an int and you aren't returning anything. Try adding 'return 0;'. I'd suggest compiling your code with warnings on, ideally via - Wall. That'll catch things like this. gives me no warnings and yet it still crashes. Commenting out getch () the program no longer crashes. Just curious as to whether this works for you? I am trying this on MacOS X 10.4.8 A bit of Googling shows that you have to call initscr() before using any curses APIs. That fixes this. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
