It's strange, I did "./configure" and the ncurses wasn't compiled
(always I got the termcap), maybe there are an error in the detection
of the ncurses.

The termcap version is really ugly (some rare numbers appears in the
minibuf, like "1073743903H", etc.), also, when I find a file or put an
yes/no anwser, the text that I write appears aligned to the right
(when the message appears aligned to the left), e.g.:

----- i2                 ()--L1--C0--All---------------------------------10:31--
Find file:                                                      ~/tests/hello.c
