This question has been asked on l-u before, but there was never a
satisfactory reply.  (Where "satisfactory" means "answers MY question".)

I am trying to build Pine 4.21, 
	# build slx
and things go along smoothly up until

	/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses
	collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
	make: *** [pico] Error 1                 

and the whole compiler bombs out, leaving no binary at all.  lncurses is a
variable set in makefile.lnx
	STDLIBS= -lncurses

I have tried changig it to -lcurses (because ...I don't know) but it
doesn't help. 
1.  What should this be changed to to allow pine to build.
	OR
2.  What do I have to do to repair my system so -lncurses will be found by
	ld?

A lady came up to me on the street and pointed to my suede jacket.  "You
know a cow was murdered for that jacket?"  she sneered.  I replied in a
psychotic tone, "I didn't know there were any witnesses.  Now I'll have
to kill you too."

You should install the ncurses package on your system.  If you don't
want to do that you could alsotry changing the -lncurses to -ltermcap
instead.
