12 This is exactly what happened. I used the systemrescuecd, chrooted,
13 and, lo and behold, the same error message was coming up. What I
14 might be able to do is symlink to libncursesw ? Don't know whether
15 it's even on the system.
16
17 On the other hand, with a binary ncurses, I could see that might work.
18 Is there a binary repo? (Back to sabayon?). I suppose I need to
19 know the exact version. Does it matter which use flags it was
20 compiled with?

22 Thank you!
