Тhere is a difference between warning and error. Configure script for ncurses in chapter 5.19 didn't give out a warning but ERROR on a fresh install. Error means NO GO or STOP. Not possible to continue. I cannot reproduce the exact condition, because I have added the "--without-gpm" switch and continued with installation. When I tried to replicate the condition AFTER the LFS installation has been fully completed, the ncurses configure script has given a warning and went on. Naturally, since the /tools is not "pristine", if that is the word i want. BTW, in chapter 6.9 ncurses package was installed without the need for additional switch. Host system is BLFS 7.0. Anyone who is doing a fresh install care to comment? Ah, well, I am going to do a fresh LFS install tonight and I will either look foolish or will give you the message from configure.
I don't think there is a need to go to lfs-dev since it is just a matter of adding a switch to configure script, nothing fancy.
