Its cool now,ive found out that USE=profile was making me some troubles.I remove it and its good to go.

[Comment 9 SpanKY 2008-02-09 20:54:06 UTC]

try adding USE=profile and doing `emerge -C mawk` and see if ncurses builds

[Comment 10 Felix von Courten 2008-02-13 08:22:56 UTC]

ncurses-5.6.r2 requires mawk

After emerge mawk

emerge -u ncurses run smoothly
