when i looked at it last time i've seen the following code fragment
along this function execution:
ncurses\base\vsscanf.c:
....
NCURSES_EXPORT(int, vsscanf)
(const char *str, const char *format, va_list ap)
{
/*
* You don't have a native vsscanf(3), and you don't have System-V
* compatible stdio internals. You're probably using a BSD
* older than 4.4 or a really old Linux. You lose. Upgrade
* to a current C library to win.
*/
return -1; /* not implemented */
}
...
i believe this is the reason.
