You couldn't get a clue during the clue mating season in a field full of
horny clues if you smeared your body with clue musk and did the clue
mating dance.

>Release:        FreeBSD 2.0-RELEASE i386
>Environment:

fresh install of 2.0-Release + XFree86-3.0

>Description:

public prototypes do not include 'extern "C" { ... }' when compiled
with C++ compiler

>How-To-Repeat:

mrami[~]$ cat >test.cc
#include <curses.h>

void main(void) {
        initscr();
        endwin();
}
mrami[~]$ c++ test.cc
/var/tmp/cc0007311.o: Undefined symbol `_initscr__Fv' referenced from text segment
/var/tmp/cc0007311.o: Undefined symbol `_endwin__Fv' referenced from text segment

>Fix:

>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:


curses header files do not have correct linkages for C++
