Hi Brad,
thank you for pointing out the conditions. But they cannot be used to
ignore the symolic link in /usr/include/ to favor the acutal header in
/usr/include/ncurses/. I always end up with /usr/include/ being the
CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH.

Yes, this would be nice. Currently, I cannot answer your question, as I
am alien to Curses / Ncurses.
Kind regards,
