e reason for this?
This is a bug in the upstream build system. They should use `pkg-config
--libs ncurses` to construct the link command line, which would result
in the correct "-lncurses -ltinfo", but instead they just hardcode
"-lncurses".
Try passing LDFLAGS=-ltinfo or LDLIBS=-ltinfo to make or configure.
