can't configure

[Ala321]

Hi
On gentoo i cant pass configure

#./configure
...
checking for tgetstr in -lncurses... no
configure: error: Unable to find ncurses library

pkg-config show

pkg-config --libs ncurses

-lncurses -ltinfo

ldconfig -v | grep nc

    libncursesw.so.6 -> libncursesw.so.6.1
    libncurses.so.6 -> libncurses.so.6.1
    libncurses++.so.6 -> libncurses++.so.6.1
    libncurses++w.so.6 -> libncurses++w.so.6.1

ltinfo is the problem ?

export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -ltinfo" resovles my problem. Thx

On gentoo also, the follow patch works for me:
