No, I meant a distro where ncurses is built with --with-termlib.
On my Debian stable (squeeze), libtinfo does not exist at all,
so I can not test linking against it:

    $ apt-file search libtinfo
    (zilch)

But I'll see at installing a Gentoo (if that's not too complex) in a
VM to do the checks (can you confirm that Gentoo by default configures
ncurses with --with-termlib ?).

Yann E. MORIN.
