[OmniOS-discuss] ncurses lib in r151010j

[Dale Ghent]

So what does your config.log say regarding the check for mvchgat() ? How is it failing the test? When running into issues such as this, config.log is the go-to place to start figuring out the why.

autoconf itself isn’t infallible in how it checks for things, after all.
