My configure line for ncurses-4.1 (patched to current version) is: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --enable-termcap --enable-getcap \ --enable-hashmap --disable-overwrite --enable-scroll-hints \ --with-shared --with-profile ,which enables termcap parsing, disables terminfo creation, enables shlib and profile library creation, and enables some scrolling optimization code. -Dan Nelson
