This is exactly what happened.  I used the systemrescuecd, chrooted,
and, lo and behold, the same error message was coming up.  What I
might be able to do is symlink to libncursesw ?  Don't know whether
it's even on the system.

On the other hand, with a binary ncurses, I could see that might work.
 Is there a binary repo?  (Back to sabayon?).  I suppose I need to
know the exact version.  Does it matter which use flags it was
compiled with?

Thank you!
