ncurses not found when trying to build vim

Question

I am trying to build vim in my user dir after recently upgraded to Fedora 23

I have ncurses and ncurses-devel

[root@statquant-laptop lib]# dnf instal         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the same issue on Fedora23. Here is my solution:

1. make sure you have ncurses-devel installed
2. CFLAGS=-fPIC ./configure --with-tlib=ncurses and your_options

I checked the config.log and found that gcc complained the lack of '-fPIC'
