I'm using Chicken 4.13 and the last version of the egg (i.e. 1.6) installed with ""chicken-install ncurses"". The problem is this: {{{ (require-extension ncurses) (let ((stdscr (initscr)) (str (make-string 10))) (getstr str) (addstr str) (getch)) }}} The error is this: {{{ Error: bad argument type - not a pointer: "" "" }}} It has been a similar problem: https://bugs.call-cc.org/ticket/158#no2 but it says that it has been solved now (but I still obtain an error, different from the one mentioned).
