The configure script does not find libncursesw on a system where only the wide version of ncurses exists - even when readine is linked against ncursesw. The configure scripts does not find libreadline when it is compiled to /usr/local and when using the configure switch "--with-installed-readline=/usr/local" The following seems to work, but it would be good if the configure script could manage without help edit configure 5166: LIBS="-lncursesw $LIBS" 5260: eval ac_cv_rl_includedir=/usr/local/include/readline 5261: eval ac_cv_rl_libdir=/usr/local/lib 5263: LIBS="$LIBS -lreadline -lncursesw" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --without-bash-malloc --with-installed-readline=/usr/local ac_cv_lib_ncurses_tgetent=true make make install
