This is what I get here: root@fireball / # equery b libtinfow.so.6 * Searching for libtinfow.so.6 ... sys-libs/ncurses-6.2-r1 (/lib64/libtinfow.so.6 -> libtinfow.so.6.2) sys-libs/ncurses-6.2-r1 (/usr/lib/libtinfow.so.6 -> libtinfow.so.6.2) root@fireball / # emerge -p sys-libs/ncurses [ebuild R ] sys-libs/ncurses-6.2-r1:0/6::gentoo USE="gpm (split-usr) threads (tinfo) unicode -ada -cxx -debug -doc -minimal -profile -static-libs -test -trace" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)" Does that info help any?
