 ncursesw is a dependency, so I'm assuming it's a case of our use of
 builtin ncursesw being broken.

 Any ideas why it would be broken?

 Could you send htop/work/htop-2.0.2/config.log?
 It looks configure script failed to find curses library.

State-Changed-Why:
Hi - I've chacked the package in the PR and it builds on Debian out of
pkgsrc-current. The PR is rather old - apologies that we have not been
in touch. One problem I have seen on pkgsrc on Linux is that we do 
required ncurses to be installed in the base (Linux) system before the
bootstrap. I'm going to close this PR because I suspect the circumstances
that it occurrd under are now moot, but if you are still having problems
please ping me direct or open a new PR. Kind regards, Chris
