                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-20687
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
    Affects Versions: 1.8.18.0

make: *** [menuselect/cmenuselect] Error 2




To fix, I edited menuselect/Makefile and changed the line from

  C_LIBS +=$(NCURSES_LIB)

to 

  C_LIBS +=$(NCURSES_LIB) -ltinfo


I am on Amazon Linux AMI release 2012.09

Seems that the configure does not correctly include the -ltinfo into the NCURSES_LIB variable.
