Wouldn't it be a good idea to include a check for curses headers during
bootstrap?
I know its RTFM, but it may be non-trivial to track down why the bootstrap
stoped.
Something like this:
echo_msg "Looking for curses header files"
if [ ! -f /usr/include/curses.h ] || [ ! -f /usr/include/ncurses.h ]; then
die "You need curses header files to bootsrap pkgsrc (see
README.$opsys)"
fi
