Bugzilla Bug 107627

when trying to emerge dialog, I get the following error:

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

!!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/dialog-1.0.20050206/work/dialog-1.0-20050206/config.log

!!! ERROR: dev-util/dialog-1.0.20050206 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0
!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to emerge dialog
2. see the error report
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge failed with above error

Expected Results:  
should have emerged fine

removing the USE flag "unicode" will emerge the dialog package fine.

see my emerge info below:
