It was a pain... Dunno why this happened, and I don't understand why I could not find a lot of complaining about this with google.

It did! I tried finding out what was the problem with building libncurses5 by following Peter Naulls suggestions. I found the command causing it, but it did not mean very much to me. Unfortunately my laptop decided to do a shutdown right after I revived it from hibernation, dunno why, so I lost the screen with the command on it, but it was something with 'tic -x', if that means anything to anybody. > FYI: My simple test of libglib2.0-0 made it look like the > static build is working OK.

It seems the patchfile is not taking into account this change: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/glib/trunk/glib-2.0.pc.in?r1=6868&r2=6925 One of the wiki pages suggests doing something to the /etc/apt/sources.list file, which I did not do. Still, it seems my glib is newer than the one the diff file. Not really sure why that is. Is this what Peter Naulls referred to?
