if ncurses is built with USE="tinfo" then the terminfo stuff is in a separate library and rlwrap doesn't add it to the link line:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DDATADIR=\"/usr/share\"  -march=native -O2 -pipe  -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -o rlwrap main.o signals.o readline.o pty.o completion.o term.o ptytty.o utils.o string_utils.o malloc_debug.o filter.o  -lutil  -lreadline 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: term.o: undefined reference to symbol 'tputs'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: note: 'tputs' is defined in DSO /lib64/libtinfo.so.5 so try adding it to the linker command line


Reproducible: Always

Yes, this seem also fixed in current version of rlwrap (0.42).

Thanks all. Closing bug.
