Is this a duplicate of #677778?

I had the same problems, and as outlined in this forum post:

http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=141686.0

the workaround is:

1. Create a file /etc/portage/env/frotz-workaround.conf containing:

>LIB="-lcurses -ltinfo"

2. Edit /etc/portage/package.env:

>games-engines/frotz frotz-workaround.conf

I think so, probably differs slightly due to a parallel build.
