ok

could this be a prefix problem ?, if it compiles and installed it would on gentoo be with prefix of /usr/local, while all ebuilds is in /usr, is linker libs search only in /usr/local/lib64 or both /usr/local/lib64 and /usr/lib64 in that order ?

what are your own output from linked elfs from fmail ftools fconfig ?, this will revail where ncurses is installed, next i think og is what ncurses version have you ?

my /usr/local/lib64 is empty, so here only libs installed from emerges, maybe i just need to install ncurses as non root user, just like fmail is ?, will it make sense ?
