Attempts to emerge apcupsd-3.10.18-r1 fails during configure as follows:

   checking ncurses/curses.h usability... no
   checking ncurses/curses.h presence... no
   checking for ncurses/curses.h... no
   configure: error: ncurses headers not found

   !!! ERROR: sys-power/apcupsd-3.10.18-r1 failed.
   !!! Function src_compile, Line 64, Exitcode 1

Any word on this bug?  It's been awhile and I still haven't gotten apcupsd to compile properly on AMD64.

Have you tried any newer version?

apcupsd is still at 3.10.18-r1; I don't think ncurses has changed either.

The problem seems to be that apcupsd is looking for /usr/include/ncurses/curses.h but the actual include file installed to /usr/include/ncursesw/curses.h

I can symlink a fix on my system, but we really should fix the package.
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2006-12-19 14:09:06 UTC 
no, you should have both /usr/include/ncurses/curses.h and /usr/include/ncursesw/curses.h
