  The previous couple of attempts, the install on my XPS 8940 died on
rebuilding ncurses when I copied over my full USE string from my current
desktop and updated world.  This time around, I did it in pieces.  I
added some variables, and emerged update, rinse-lather-repeat..  This
time the problem happened when I added...

"-pch -roaming -sendmail -spell -tcpd -udev -udisks -unicode -upower -xinerama"

to the USE string.  The ncurses build died, followed immediately by
bash.

  Grub doesn't seem to work properly, i.e networking and other bootup
stuff did not take effect.  I booted from the install USB, and set up
ssh.  When I reach the chroot part, I get...

livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --types proc /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc 
livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --rbind /sys /mnt/gentoo/sys
livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --make-rslave /mnt/gentoo/sys 
livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --rbind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
livecd /mnt/gentoo # mount --make-rslave /mnt/gentoo/dev
livecd /mnt/gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfow.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Here's my USE string, which works fine on two other machines...

USE="X apng ffmpeg introspection jpeg opengl openmp png szip truetype x264 x265 xorg threads vala -acl -arp -arping -berkdb -bindist -bles -caps -chatzilla -cracklib -crypt -elogind -filecaps -gallium -gdbm -gmp-autoupdate -graphite -gstreamer -iconv -ipc -iptables -ipv6 -jemalloc3 -libav -libglvnd -llvm -manpager -nls -pam -pch -roaming -sendmail -spell -tcpd -udev -udisks -unicode -upower -xinerama"

  Any ideas?  I have 2 other computers where it works just fine.  On the
new machine it dies.  A re-install is one thing. I just want to make
sure it doesn't die again on me.  On my other machines I tried...

equery b libtinfow.so.6

...and also...

find / -name libtinfow*

  Zip/zilch/nada.  This appears to be something unique on the new
install.  Is this a clue?
