thanks
The full error message for the failing build reads
,----
| checking for library containing tigetflag... no
| checking for library containing tgetent... no
| configure: error: in `/tmp/zsh-4.3.12/obj-static':
| configure: error: "No terminal handling library was found on your system.
| This is probably a library called 'curses' or 'ncurses'. You may
| need to install a package called 'curses-devel' or 'ncurses-devel' on your
| system."
| See `config.log' for more details
`----
Ubuntu has hit this bug as well, see [1]. The attached patch against
git is stolen from [2], with the commit message edited to close the
Debian bug for your convenience.
Note that libtinfo is only available since ncurses 5.9-2, so you should
probably bump the libncursesw5-dev build-dependency. Or come up with
something more sophisticated if you want the package to build unmodified
in Squeeze.
Cheers,
Sven
