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, -- Sylvain BERTRAND
