  -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  16091 Sep 26 02:01 /usr/include/form.h
  -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  10951 Nov  3 16:31 /usr/include/menu.h

If I'd been missing those it would've complained during compilation, not
linking, I think.

FreeBSD versions at the heads of the 4 and 5 branches of the CVS tree have
ncurses 5.1-20001009 integrated into the source tree as contributed software,
so my "default" curses library is ncurses, and it resides in the /usr
hierarchy.  In fact, my curses.h and libcurses.{a,so} are symlinks to
ncurses.h and libncurses.{a,so} respectively.  :-)

In short, the libraries are there, configure picks them up, I'm doing all I
can think of to link them... but it doesn't work.  Which is why I'm thinking
I'm missing something *really* obvious...

Just gave that a go as well (though configure has always picked up libncurses
correctly) - no luck.  :-(

I'm out of ideas for the moment...
