There is something very wrong here. Your patch fails to build on my two 
machines:

g++ -Wall -W -O2  -o moe arg_parser.o basic_buffer.o block.o buffer.o 
buffer_handle.o encoding.o iso_8859.o menu_file.o menu_help.o 
menu_opts.o rc.o regex.o screen.o window.o window_vector.o main.o 
-lncurses -ltinfo
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.3.6/../../../../i486-slackware-linux/bin/ld: 
cannot find -ltinfo
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [moe] Error 1


If I have understood the problem correctly, compiling ncurses with the 
tinfo option enabled (do you mean --with-termlib?), splits libncurses in 
two libraries; libncurses and libtinfo. OK?

I think that such "libtinfo split" should be transparent to client 
programs. If it is not, I think all I can do is to document the problem 
in INSTALL.


Best regards,
Antonio.
