Description Frédéric Magnard 2006-12-22 17:24:18 UTC

The configure script run when compiling grub does not find usable ncurses library, as it compiles using -m32 gcc flag. The needed library is in /emul/linux/x86/lib, which is apparently not searched by gcc, although gcc -print-search-dirs shows this directory in the libraries list.
A simple export LIBRARY_PATH=/emul/linux/x86/lib before emerge grub solves this, and produces a ncurses capable grub.
I do not understand why /emul/linux/x86/lib is not searched by gcc...
Would someone know ?

Fred.
