| Cool. Does it fix the original problem? I only quickly looked at the

This is what I meant by "it works".
I tested in a Debian chroot where ncurses is not installed.
So, the original problem is solved :)

| ncftp is not fully autotools based: it uses autoconf, but not
| automake.
| And the autoconf invocation needs a special -I path to find the
| aclocal.m4, since it cannot be re-generated using aclocal, because it
| uses some funky m4 macros and I have no idea where are the original
| m4
| files with these macros.

Thanks for your explanations, 
I am not yet familiar with autotools but I progress :)

Best regards,
Romain
