Hi,
I downloaded qiv sources, went in the right directory, typed "make" and 
<TAB>

I got the error :  (eval):1: read-only variable: CURSOR

This is because in _make, Makefile lines are parsed to find for 
variables declarations, and then assigned with : 
eval $var=\$val

But in qiv Makefile, there is the line :
CURSOR = 84
and CURSOR is a parameter special in zsh.

That problem could happen with any special parameters.

I found a solution by adding the line 
typeset -h $var 
just before eval

I don't known if there could be drawbacks with my fix, but I still send 
it.

arno.
