In my various attempts to try and learn more about the *BSDs, which
happen periodically when the sky seems to be falling on Linux, I found
that this type of issue is really tricky because one has to be sure to
*build* against the packaged (i.e. non-base) libraries, including
cases like libncurses. IIRC this is far from automatic, some packages
as shipped link with the base ncurses. One has to inspect the package
build.

The same is true for homebrew and linuxbrew.
