Why?

>DEPEND="sys-libs/ncurses"

RDEPEND="${DEPEND}"


Also, this needs something like:

src_prepare() {
    sed -i -e 's|-lncurses|$(PKG_CONFIG) --libs ncurses|'g Makefile || die
}

and an appropriate DEPEND="virtual/pkgconfig ..." in order to not hit bug #457530.

>EAPI="5"
>inherit eutils
you didn't use any function from eutils, why inherit it?

>KEYWORDS="~amd64"
probably it also works for ~x86? but just fine if you can't test.

>DEPEND="
>	virtual/pkgconfig
>	sys-libs/ncurses
>"
>RDEPEND="${DEPEND}"

em, put "virtual/pkgconfig" into ${RDEPEND}?

>src_prepare() {
>	sed -i -e 's|-lncurses|$(shell pkg-config --libs ncurses)|'g Makefile
>}
don't miss "|| die" while call external utils.

also it would be a good idea to explicitly list sys-apps/sed in DEPEND (even it is already included by @system).

Comment #5 fixes this program on ppc.

Steps to reproduce:
1. git clone https://github.com/defer-/nbwmon.git
2. cd nbwmon
3. git checkout a7ae3a0
4. make
5. ./nbwmon -i eth0 (BROKEN ON PPC, WORKS ON AMD64)
6. rm ./nbwmon
7. git checkout master
8. make
9. ./nbwmon -i eth0 (WORKS ON BOTH PPC AND AMD64)

Please bump and add ~ppc to keywords.

Just to clarify the above,

Please bump to version 0.4.3 which was released today, see https://github.com/defer-/nbwmon/releases/tag/0.4.3
