I got a similar problem: on doing an
emerge dialog get:

Code:

........
checking for initscr... no
checking for initscr in -lncursesw... no
checking for -lncursesw in /usr/local/lib... no
checking for -lncursesw in /usr/lib... no
configure: error: Cannot link ncursesw library

!!! ERROR: dev-util/dialog-1.0.20040731 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 449, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.


Ideas anyone?

The same problem occurs under Darwin 7.7 / Mac OS X 10.3.7 :
Code:

>>> emerge (1 of 4) dev-util/dialog-1.0.20040731 to /
...
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=powerpc-apple-darwin --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --with-ncursesw
...
checking for initscr... no
checking for initscr in -lncursesw... no
checking for -lncursesw in /usr/lib... no
configure: error: Cannot link ncursesw library


even though ncurses is installed, lives in /usr/lib, and exports such a function:
Code:
 
> ls -l /usr/lib/libncurses*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  279000 27 Dec 00:35 /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      18 26 Dec 18:33 /usr/lib/libncurses.dylib -> libncurses.5.dylib

> cat /usr/include/ncurses.h | grep "initscr"
extern NCURSES_EXPORT(WINDOW *) initscr (void);                         /* implemented */


Though somewhat curiously, attempting to install the ncurses package from portage as suggested in another thread not only fails to solve the problem, but indeed, fails to attempt doing anything at all:
Code:
 
>>> Install ncurses-8.1 into /var/tmp/portage/ncurses-8.1/image/ category sys-libs
man:
prepallstrip:
strip:
>>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/ncurses-8.1/image/

* checking 0 files for package collision


Any ideas?

The obligatory emerge info:

As a temporary solution to the problem, I have hacked the ebuild :

Code:

src_compile() {
        export LANG=C
        use unicode && ncursesw="" # was "ncursesw=w" changed to resolve link error
        econf "--with-ncurses${ncursesw}" || die "configure failed"
        emake || die "build failed"
}


which allows it to link properly against the version of nucurses installed under Mac OS X (and possibly under linux as well by the looks of the above posts).

Yup, echo "app-[i_forget]/dialog -unicode" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords works.

merely to be pedantic...
is it not the /etc/portage/package.use file,
that your sugggestion will work as suggested ?

Cheers,

I think
Code:
USE="unicode" emerge --newuse ncurses dialog

will be a better solution.
It will fix the ncurses unicode support, i guess.

Yes, seems the ncurses library from the install was compiled w/o unicode so it needs to be recompiled

If "emerge --nweuse ncurses dialog" fixes this for everyone involved, [SOLVED] should be added to the thread subject. It worked for me!

Just wanted to add, the postet solution worked for me too, so a [SOLVED] would be appropriate ;)
