I found a Japanese note about this in the developer list,

[http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-dev/22418](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-dev/22418)

but even with the help of Excite’s english translation, I wasn’t able to tell  
if patch shown at the bottom was supposed to fix the problem for HP-UX 11.

It does not seem to for HP-UX 10,

FWIW, I just took the -ltinfo out of the ext/curses Makefile and went  
on my way…

Try the patch in [ruby-dev:22420].

Due to -E, gcc does only preprocess and never fail.
