If you're compiling statically, you have to do the entire dependency chain yourself. ncurses pulls in libtermcap, so normally this would be by adding "LIBS=-ltermcap" to the arguments to configre. Unforutnately, our configure script does something a bit funky with the $LIBS stuff so this doesn't work. I've fixed this in a commit I'll push, but even then statically linking fish is not a great idea - we call e.g. getpwent() and getpwnam(), and those will load (through NSS) dynamic libraries depending on system configuration. See, e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11654143/statically-linking-system-libraries-libc-pthreads-to-aid-in-debugging Is there a good requirement for static linking?
