no - it is a bug in PDCurses' configure script, which assumes that the
libraries are in a directory "../lib" relative to the location of the
X headers.
You might find this to be useful:

Before noticing this, I would simply build PDCurses with a quick fix
for its configure script bug. (Actually now I build it using Martin's
version plus some further fixes -- I use that for test-builds, e.g.,
of lynx, dialog).
