How to compile

You need the curses (ncurses) library for cursor movement on your system.

gunzip -c bvi-1.5.0.src.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd bvi-1.5.0
./configure
make
make install

MAC OS X

Looks like the curses implementation in Darwin is really limited. You should install and use ncurses instead. You can download it from ftp.gnu.org; install it and then use ./configure --with-ncurses=/usr/local/ncurses-5.2

The Control-y key sequence suspends bvi and send it to the background. To avoid this behaviour use: stty dsusp undef
