On Ubuntu Quantal, ncurses is indeed compiled with tinfo as a separate lib, but these two patches are not needed, because libncurses has proper (NEEDED) on libtinfo: $ readelf -d /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5.9 |grep tinfo 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libtinfo.so.5] If I just configure ncurses with: $ ./configure --with-termlib --with-shared --without-normal && make $ readelf -d lib/libncurses.so.5.9 |grep tinfo 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libtinfo.so.5] I wonder how you configured your ncurses. But anyway, even in that cse, using pkg-config when available is better than using our previous legacy checks. I'm still doing a few more tests on my side before queuing. > Thanks for all suggestions, Thanks for staying around during the iterations. Regards, Yann E.
