It finds ncursesw5-config but not the lib. Looks like a packaging bug in Ubuntu 12.04. I guess libncursesw5-dev is not installed but ncursesw5-config is from the installed ncurses-bin. The config script should be in the dev packages as well as the .pc files. http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/ncurses-bin/filelist http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/libncursesw5-dev/filelist We don't need to handle such broken installation. In drone.io script you could try apt-get install -qq libncursesw5-dev cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
