In Chapter 6 we have:
Note
The instructions above don't create non-wide-character Ncurses libraries
since no package installed by compiling from sources would link against
them at runtime. If you must have such libraries because of some
binary-only application or to be compliant with LSB, build the package
again with the following commands:
make distclean
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--with-shared \
--without-normal \
--without-debug \
--without-cxx-binding
make sources libs
cp -av lib/lib*.so.5* /usr/lib
Does that help?
BTW, without the above, we do have /usr/lib/libncurses.a. Shouldn't
shouldn't that be picked up?
