using the mouse with ncurses

[dsharp]

Hello. I am having a problem using the mouse with ncurses. I am 100% sure that my code is correct and it compiles fine. When I run my program it is not picking up the mouse events. I first tried running the program in Konsole, then I tried xterm, and finally I tried aterm but it's still not working. Does anyone have any idea why the mouse isn't working? Or where I might find the answer?
Note: I compiled with gcc v3.2.2 and I'm using ncurses v5.2

Thank you for your time.

Post your code for picking up the mouse events. It might be a logic problem. Have you tried with a `real' console? ie. Have you tried it outside X? Mind you, the mouse may not be intialized, not sure...

The following code is from the ncurses programming how-to and it doesn't even work.

#include <ncurses.h>

#define WIDTH 30
#define HEIGHT 10

int startx = 0;
int starty = 0;

char *choices[] = {
		"Choice 1",
		"Choice 2",
		"Choice 3",
		"Choice 4",
		"Exit" };

int n_choices = sizeof(choices) / sizeof(char *);

void print_menu(WINDOW *menu_win, int highlight);
void report_choice(int mouse_x, int mouse_y, int *p_choice);

int main(void) {
	int c, choice = 0;
	WINDOW *menu_win;
	MEVENT *event;
	
	initscr();
	clear();
	noecho();
	cbreak();
	
	startx = (80 - WIDTH) / 2;
	starty = (24 - HEIGHT) / 2;
	
	attron(A_REVERSE);
	mvprintw(23, 1, "Click on exit to quit (Works best in a virtual console)");
	refresh();
	attroff(A_REVERSE);
	
	menu_win = newwin(HEIGHT, WIDTH, starty, startx);
	print_menu(menu_win, 1);
	
	mousemask(ALL_MOUSE_EVENTS, NULL);
	
	while(1) {
		c = wgetch(menu_win);
		switch(c) {
			case KEY_MOUSE:
				if(getmouse(event) == OK) {
					if(event->bstate & BUTTON1_PRESSED) {
						report_choice(event->x + 1, event->y + 1, &choice);
						if(choice == -1)
							goto end;
						mvprintw(22, 1, "Choice made is: %d String chosen is \"%10s\"", choice,
							choices[choice - 1]);
						refresh();
					}
				}
				print_menu(menu_win, choice);
				break;
		}
	}
end:
	endwin();
	return 0;
}

void print_menu(WINDOW *menu_win, int highlight) {
	int x, y, i;
	y = 2;
	x = 2;
	box(menu_win, 0, 0);
	for(i = 0; i < n_choices; ++i) {
		if(highlight == i + 1) {
			wattron(menu_win, A_REVERSE);
			mvwprintw(menu_win, y, x, "%s", choices[i]);
			wattroff(menu_win, A_REVERSE);
		}
		else
			mvwprintw(menu_win, y, x, "%s", choices[i]);
		++y;
	}
	wrefresh(menu_win);
}

void report_choice(int mouse_x, int mouse_y, int *p_choice) {
	int i, j, choice;
	i = startx + 2;
	j = starty + 3;
	
	for(choice = 0; choice < n_choices; ++choice) {
		if(mouse_y == j + choice && mouse_x >= i && mouse_x <= i + strlen(choices[choice])) {
			if(choice == n_choices - 1) {
				*p_choice = -1;
			}
			else
				*p_choice = choice + 1;
			break;
		}
	}
}

That's not my code above but it should work, but it doesn't. And I have tried it from a virtual console. Maybe there is something wrong with my ncurses installation. Anyways, thanks for the reply.
