[pypy-dev] Specifying lib locations?

[Skip Montanaro]

I believe I figured this out. On my system, the library is
libncurses.so, not libcurses.so.  I was only looking at the rpython
traceback, not at the last gcc command run before the traceback was
emitted. Once I ran that directly on the command line and saw its
error message and figured out what was going on. I am not being
entertained by the Mandelbrot set...

It seems that try_ldflags should also yield ExternalCompilationInfo
instances where the main library is "ncurses", not "curses", and
/usr/lib64 should be searched as well, at least by some of the ECI
variants.
