Tom,

  Try removing _curses.i line 243, many functions in ncurses are really
macros, and macros do not get along with SWIG (at least not 1.1.5), for
whatever reason your version of ncurses may have keybound as a macro while
mine has it as a function (you could also look into curses.h, all the
definitions are commented in the prototype to show whether they are macros
or not.) Try building again with line 243 missing from _curses.i , tell mo
the result and we will work from there.
