You should file a bug about it. Is there a special requirement for building ncurses with tinfo? If not the easy fix is disabling the tinfo USE flag for ncurses. Many thanks, Daniel. I can't remember why I HAD TO add the tinfo USE flag to ncurses.

[gentoo-user] ncurses / tinfo problem
Hi, there are several packages which fail to link since they are missing '-ltinfo' - recently app-antivirus/clamav-0.99.4-r1 For a temporary fix I have edited the config.status file by changing S["CURSES_LIBS"]="-lncurses" to S["CURSES_LIBS"]="-lncurses -ltinfo" and using ebuild /usr/portage/app-antivirus/clamav/clamav-0.99.4-r1.ebuild merge But I think that this is a more general problem. Has anybody found a fix which works for several such packages? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut
