>Description:
I am using Mint 18/amd64, which is based on Ubuntu 16.04. I am able to bootstrap pkgsrc and even build gcc 6. However, when I tried to compile clang and emulators/tme both failed with errors because of a dependancy on cmake. Cmake would not compile, spewing the following error:

-- Looking for cbreak in /usr/pkg/lib/libncurses.so - found
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:546 (message):
  CMAKE_USE_SYSTEM_FORM in ON but CURSES_FORM_LIBRARY is not set!
Call Stack (most recent call first):   
  CMakeLists.txt:635 (CMAKE_BUILD_UTILITIES)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

>How-To-Repeat:
on a ubuntu/16.04 system, bootstrap pkgsrc and try to compile devel/cmake
>Fix:
I was able to get cmake to compile and install by installing ubuntu's ncurses dev package: 

apt-get install libncurses5-dev

I'm not sure if that's a fix or a workaround.
