Comment 1 Roland Bär 2005-01-28 02:36:11 UTC

You are now using "unicode" in your use flags, but ncurses was emerged in the past without "unicode". Just "emerge ncurses" again, than it will work. (Tested and checked here)

Comment 2 postmodern 2005-01-28 10:11:53 UTC

I just emerge -u world and that seems to have fixed this issue.

Comment 3 Honza 2005-01-28 12:45:29 UTC

I have same problem. And of course I have ncurses without unicode. I have version which didn't know about USE flag unicode ... isn't it bug in dependencies ?

Comment 4 postmodern 2005-01-28 13:22:40 UTC

When I upgraded to sys-libs/ncurses-5.4-r5 (default on ppc as of current) this problem went away.
