You must not search for str or *str but you must search for NULL in
port.c and then change it to the above line. str is not the variable
the variable is lock_path. str just means a string but not the string.
I have changed it in curses.c to, but the names are different again.
So *str !=NULL || str != NULL must always be str != NULL || *str !=NULL
Just search for NULL in the file when you find *???? != NULL you
change it to ???? != NULL || *???? != NULL
I compiled it and it does work, the only problem is that the screen
layout doesn't work right, I don't know if the problem is my curses
or there is something wrong in the program.
But I can call other systems using pcomm
