I see. For now I have bundled the correct ax_with_curses.m4 with our source package (alongside ax_with_htslib.m4) and use it instead of the one in autoconf-archive until this issue gets addressed by you upstream. >>> Cannot open a pty at test/test.pl line 551. > > I've now further tweaked test/test.pl's pty setup to skip the tests instead > of aborting with this message.

This has fixed the problem for me. Is this solution OK for everyone? Cheers Sascha
