Before my initial post I had an earlier build failure in make where I was passing -lncurses (without the /tools/lib). I changed both to -lncursesw (took a quick look at the top of the page, assumed both were identical), got the failure that I posted, tried symlinking libncursesw and that built.
So I tend to think that passing the narrow version to the install is now redundant. But I'm not planning on a fresh chroot build to prove or disprove that, I'll try to FBBG. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
