But "ncursesw" is just the default name for ncurses library with
_additional_ wchar functions enabled.
Wide enabled version may still be named "ncurses" (as in Mac OS X)
   and the standard library name is just "curses" anyway.
If you do not use wide API but ncurses fails - may be ncursesw ans ncurses
are of different versions on your system.
You may want to contact the current ncurses maintainer Thomas Dickey 
http://invisible-island.net/ncurses/ncurses.faq.html#report_bugs
he is usually fast to react with answers and/or patches.

I'll give it a try.

   Exactly! (in the voice of Lord Rayden ;)
