[LI] ncurses cursed problem

[btserv@xxxxxxxx]

Gentlemen,

  I wrote a small snippet of a program using ncurses, and it dumps core
when executing. gdb says the problem is in "wattrset (win, A_NORMAL);".
I could'nt make out what went wrong. Can sombody help ? My code is


  #include <ncurses.h>

  int
  main (){
   int x,y,i,j;
   int height=20, width =60;
   WINDOW *win;

   x= (COLS - width)/2;
   y= (LINES - height)/2;

   win= newwin( height, width, y, x);

   initscr();
   keypad (win,TRUE);
   cbreak();

   wattrset (win, A_REVERSE);

   for (i=0; i<height; i++){
     wmove( win, y+i, x);
     for (j=0; j<width; j++){
       if ( (!i && !j) || (i == width-1 && !j) || (!i && j == height -1)
|| (i == height - 1 && j == width - 1))
          waddch (win, A_NORMAL | ACS_ULCORNER);
       else if ((!i) || (!j))
          waddch (win, A_NORMAL | ACS_HLINE);
       else if ( (!j) || (j == width - 1))
          waddch (win, A_NORMAL | ACS_VLINE);
       else
          waddch (win, A_NORMAL | ' ');
     }
   }

   wattrset(win, A_NORMAL);

   delwin(win);
   nocbreak();
   endwin();
   return 0;
 }

 Again, which is better package, ncurser or slang. I donot know much about
slang lib.

Thanks everybody
