Redhat configuration.

[Andrew Markebo]

Now when me and my linux machine is closer, here comes the config.log from a
redhat 7 system and grub 0.5.96.1. The problem is that configure doesn't
think that ncurses exist on my machine.

doing gcc -c test.c works fine, with test.c is:
#include <ncurses/curses.h>
works fine, no errs.
