So I unrarred your ncurses to temporary directory to see files modes
set to 644 for ever file, binaries either.
Changed mode for binaries to 755 and still nothing.

if you just unrar it, ncurses should be installed. (so no extra script available now, maybe there should be linking, but as far as I know, it runs without any linking the headers)

Ok.
Just have a look what Linux modes are respectively set to files in your ncurses and let me them know, especially binaries


you should see my build as a patch for the ipkg install.
ok.
don't you have tarzipped archives for download ?

I will try again.


=========
unrarred your ncurses from /opt directory
run
[admin@oo dialog]$ ./configure --prefix=/opt

and again

....
...

checking for extra include directories... no
checking if we have identified curses headers... none
configure: error: No curses header-files found
[admin@oo dialog]$


Could you c&p your logfile showing
your
[admin@oo dialog]$ ./configure --prefix=/opt

Did you installed ipkg ncurses first ,
than your patch ?

Have so successfully and finally compiled
Linux dialog and could you attach binaries to your post ?
