Created attachment 2689
  --> https://bugs.busybox.net/attachment.cgi?id=2689
so ncurses should becompile with libtinfo.so

 ncurses normally is compiled with libtinfo , Fedora does ... , bash if have it
use it etc..

Hmm, dialog builds just fine here. Could you give latest git a try?

in config.log 
line  1692:
configure:13305: testing ...checking LIBS -lncurses -ltinfo -lm
configure:13355: testing ...checked LIBS  -lncurses -ltinfo -lm ... 

seems dialog treats libtinfo as part of ncurses 
btw many check have errors by using -ltinfo has part of the system as -lm .
for example:
configure:12421: checking for start_color
configure:12458:

Ok, it seems to be because it ends up looking at your host headers. I've tried
to fix that in git, could you give that a try?

It is fixed , but still don't understand why don't we have ncurses with
libtinfo , seems quite important and powerful lib ...

Ok, resolving - thanks.
I have no problem with adding an option to add tinfo to the ncurses build, but
I don't want to add any new features this close to the 2010.11 release.

Could you send a patch adding optional tinfo build (E.G. with a config option)
to ncurses, then I'll apply post-2010.11 - Thanks
