Summary:                    ncurses/ncursesw problem arising when installing
pidgins finch
Description: 
I have done:

lin ncurses ncursesw

lin pidgin does not install finch (which is the console client) because of
the errors you can see in config.log (I copied pidgin and ran ./configure
--enable-consoleui, configure fails here directly, if you dont specify that
you want the console client it wont be built if not possible and configure,
make, will work)

the direct problem is that ncursesw is installed, but not recognized
properly

Haha, about a second after I posted this, I realized that "make install"
creates a symlink (ncurses.h -> curses.h).

You have:

configure:16503: checking /usr/include/ncursesw/ncurses.h usability
configure:16503: gcc -c -g -O2 -I/usr/include/ncursesw 
-I/usr/include/ncursesw conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:93:43: fatal error: /usr/include/ncursesw/ncurses.h: No such
file or directory

Try this ncursesw BUILD (the 2nd one), which installs the ncursesw headers
also (with the symlink). It fixes tig, as an example:

# lvu compile tig | grep ncurses
checking for working ncursesw... yes
checking ncursesw/curses.h usability... yes
checking ncursesw/curses.h presence... yes
checking for ncursesw/curses.h... yes
gcc -s  tig.o io.o graph.o  -lncursesw -o tig
gcc -s  test-graph.o io.o graph.o  -lncursesw -o test-graph

can be closed: since, for quite a while, ncursesw was removed from moonbase
and ncurses installs the wide character support automatically and all works
fine now :)
