I want to install a piece of software (rtorrent) from source to my home folder. It depends on ncurses, which is not installed. I've installed ncurses to my home folder by using the PREFIX option during the configuration step, but this doesn't seem to work when I try to do the same with rtorrent, as it keeps telling me that it requires ncurses.The last few lines of output during make:checking if more special flags are required for pthreads... nochecking for PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT... nochecking for NcursesW wide-character library... nochecking for Ncurses library... nochecking for Curses library... noconfigure: error: requires either NcursesW or Ncurses libraryHow can I get this to work?
Build binary and dependencies without sudo

Most configure scripts allow you to specify the location of libraries they use../configure ... --with-ncurses=some/path ...
