EDIT: I FIXED THIS RECOMPILING NCURSES WITH ./configure --prefix=/home blah blah BELOW

Oh I see. Iḿ telling it one thing, and then expecting it to find the libs in /mnt/us/blah...
Okay Ill try to config it for /home - that would test if that is the case.
(armv6l:1) /home/lynx2-8-8 # ./configure --prefix=/home LDFLAGS="-R/home/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/home/include/ncurses"
checking for extra include directories... no
checking if we have identified curses headers... none
configure: error: No curses header-files found
Hmm.. *head scratch*
(armv6l:1) /home/lynx2-8-8 # ./configure --prefix=/home LDFLAGS="-R/home/lib"
--with-curses-dir=/home/include/ncurses
checking whether to enable ipv6... no
checking for screen type... curses
checking for specific curses-directory... /home/include/ncurses
Is my best attempt so far.. but it just hangs... forever
