This is exactly what happened. I used the systemrescuecd, chrooted, and, lo and behold, the same error message was coming up. What I might be able to do is symlink to libncursesw ? Don't know whether it's even on the system. On the other hand, with a binary ncurses, I could see that might work. Is there a binary repo? (Back to sabayon?). I suppose I need to know the exact version. Does it matter which use flags it was compiled with? Thank you! Alan
