 This is caused by compiling against headers from base curses and
 linking against ncurses, which obviously can't be expected to work.
 
 I cannot reproduce the problem though. If it's still happening:
 
   - please check what config.status reports for the various
 curses/ncurses tests;
 
   - after "make configure" please check in work/.work.log whether the
 transformed commands (the ones marked with <.> rather than [*])
 contain references into your installed package tree (they should not,
 instead they should refer to work/.buildlink);
 
   - make sure your installed package tree (/usr/pkg or whatever) isn't
 symlinked; that breaks the buildlink logic and that can cause failures
 of this type;
 
   - if none of the above applies check that work/.buildlink links to
 the right curses (base curses headers and libraries, and not ncurses,
 and definitely not a mixture).
