1845	slrn-0.9.8.1 fails with s-lang-2.0.5	Richard A Downing	dnicholson@…	"The current svn instructions fail as follows:
{{{

exit 1; fi

}}}

The first error is for a declaration:

    SLsearch_Type st;

but I can't find ANY declaration of SLsearch_Type in any file of the source.

Dan Nicholson says:
Judging by the name, I'm guessing it's an SLang function, and the API
has probably changed since slrn-0.9.8.1 released Oct. 2004.  Yeah, I
found it in slang-2.0.5/src/slang.h.  Browsing the CVS of slrn, it
looks like someone by the name of JED submitted a bunch of patches for
slang 2 support.  I think this is the one you're choking on:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/slrn/slrn/src/art.c?r1=1.66&r2=1.67

NOTE:  slrn is about to be released with utf-8 support, it might be better to wait for that than bust a gut fixing this.  I confirm that the cvs compiles and runs with s-lang-2.0.5.
