bash script for installing tmux without root access in Solaris/SunOS (in progress)

tmux_local_install.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Script for installing tmux on systems where you don't have root access.
# tmux will be installed in $HOME/local/bin.
# It's assumed that wget and a C/C++ compiler are installed.
# This is specifically built for SunOS 5.10.

# TODO: Stuck at: #error "Compiler or options invalid for pre-UNIX 03 X/Open 
# applications and pre-2001 POSIX applications" during ncurses installation.
# May need to use an older ncurses version.

# tarball extract
gzxtract () {
    gunzip -dc "$1" | tar xf -
}

# exit on error
set -e
