The pkg-config file I use is straight from the ncurses distribution with the
lastest "rollup" patch.

Either it's a fedora specific modification, either a genuine ncurses patch
released after the lastest "rollup" patch.

As far I understand it, from an application point of view, "standard" ncurses
programming, in the case where tinfo lib is outside of ncurses lib, involves
linking to libncurses library only. libtinfo linking would be required only in
some special features are used, which seems to be the case with lxdialog.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

regards,
