  iSelect was written with portability in mind. Additionally to overcome the
  system dependend characteristics iSelect uses a GNU autoconf based
  configuration scheme which tries hard to determine the information.

  So iSelect already compiles out-of-the-box on a lot of systems. At least the
  following Unix/Compiler/Curses variants were sucessfully tested by the
  author in the past:

  If your Unix derivate is not on this list, don't panic. As we said, iSelect
  tries to determine the information itself, so there is a good chance that
  iSelect finds alternatives even for your system. 

  If it still fails to compile or run, first try to see where the problem
  resides. Usually problems can occur when you are using a brain-dead compiler
  or Curses version. Try to upgrade or use better variants.
