It all happens on a SuSE SLES 9 system which should be functionally comparable to a SuSE Professional 9.1. I have looked into that and found that it depends on the installation's extent. A SuSE "standard" install contains static ncurses libs in /usr/lib (namely libncurses.a), a "minimal" install does not contain that library. I suppose this is the reason why screen built on your SuSE system (as this may be a "standard" installation or even larger) while mine is a "minimum". I expect that all the other systems you mention also have a os-side libncurses.a or libcurses.a. As usually OpenPKG packages tend reduce dependencies from os-side ressources to a minimum I think it is clearer to force the screen build to use an OpenPKG supplied curses library. Additionally, I suggest you consider to reduce the SuSE buildfarm installation to "minimum" so to be able to spot more of such situations. Regards ...
