I believe ncurses.h is in the standard place, but not where it is
configures looks for and the sources include it:
/usr/local/src/build/zsh-4.3.4-dev-2$ grep 'include.*curses' **/*.c
Src/Modules/curses.c:#include "curses.mdh"
Src/Modules/curses.c:#include "curses.pro"
Src/Modules/curses.c:# include <ncurses.h>
Src/Modules/curses.c:# include <curses.h>
Src/Modules/curses.c:#include "curses_keys.h"
Src/Modules/termcap.c:# include <curses.h>
Src/Modules/terminfo.c:# include <curses.h>
/usr/local/src/build/zsh-4.3.4-dev-2$ locate ncurses.h
/usr/local/include/ncurses/ncurses.h
/usr/local/include/ncursesw/ncurses.h
so, one should have
#include <ncursesw/ncurses.h>
rather than
#include <ncurses.h>
in Src/Modules/curses.c
Perhaps I should add -I/usr/local/include/ncursesw to the CPPFLAGS?
