I'm not sure what's up here. IIRC, we don't install the ncurses *.pc
files. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

Adding gdk-pixbuf as a dependency satisfied pkg-config here. Apparently
it's a dependency when you try to use "pkg-config --libs libnotify" with
just libnotify installed.

     I'm not sure what's up here. IIRC, we don't install the ncurses *.pc
     files. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

It would seem that we don't.  In fact so far as I'm aware, ncurses doesn't even
provide such a thing.  Instead it provides it's own pkg-config like utility called
"ncursesw60config" which you can use if you like.

Personally however I don't like either approach.   I think it much cleaner and more
reliably to explicitly state which path(s) and libraries you need rather than to 
rely on some wierd script to guess it for you.

I have no preference. I just have no idea right now how to fix
the detection of ncurses here. If I would sit down for more than
a few hours with months apart I could come up with a solution,
but I'd rather use the collaborative approach and get review and
ideas from other people.
Kei: Thanks for solving the first part of the problem!

John: If we used absolute paths for every occurence of ncurses
related files in the build system of toxic, would this work? I
have no time to try this at the moment.

My first idea was to add to the LDPATH, but because they've
constructed their own annoying system this could mean time to
test time and time again, and right now I'm more than busy with
testing and writing other modules and services.

I believe commit 57742b35dc0260ad8779438273cccce5f3d6e2c0 from
'core-updates' intends to solve this.
