This, i imagine, is it.  From config.log

   configure:6233: checking for a curses library containing mvchgat

      (Can't find a curses library supporting mvchgat.)
      Consider installing ncurses.


No idea what to do about it, though.

So what does your config.log say regarding the check for mvchgat() ? How is it 
failing the test? When running into issues such as this, config.log is the 
go-to place to start figuring out the why.

autoconf itself isn’t infallible in how it checks for things, after all.

Hi

I'm trying to build iftop on r151010j because the available packages are rather 
stale.

     basename   file   opt/omni/sbin/iftop

Running into an issue with ncurses during the configure stage

checking for a curses library containing mvchgat... none found
configure: error: Curses! Foiled again!
   (Can't find a curses library supporting mvchgat.)
   Consider installing ncurses.

however ...

pkg list ncurses
NAME (PUBLISHER)                                  VERSION                    IFO
library/ncurses                                   5.9-0.151010               i--
     > grep mvchgat /usr/include/ncurses/ncurses.h

     extern NCURSES_EXPORT(int) mvchgat (int, int, int, attr_t, short, const 
void *);    /* generated */
     #define mvchgat(y,x,n,a,c,o)        mvwchgat(stdscr,y,x,n,a,c,o)

Looks like it's supported.  Any ideas?

thanks
