Created attachment 65480 [details] stop trying to link directly against ncurses Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux calgebra doesn't use libncurses directly, only libreadline. The requirement for libncurses is an internal implementation detail of the readline library. On current development versions of Debian and Ubuntu, libreadline no longer links against libncurses to avoid the difficulty with wide and non-wide versions of ncurses (http://enc.com.au/2011/09/ncurses-library-split/). Here's a similar Debian bug by way of example: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=646146 I've attached a patch which drops the ncurses requirement. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Build on the current Ubuntu development release (precise) with libreadline-dev installed but without libncurses*-dev. Actual Results: The build system claims that libreadline is not available. Expected Results: The build system should not care about the lack of libncurses, since it can link against libreadline.

Don't link calgebra against ncurses, apparently it's not needed anymore.

Thanks - you seem to have missed a few bits of my patch against FindReadline.cmake, though? It seems odd to keep on referring to NCURSES_LIBRARY after no longer running FIND_LIBRARY on it.
