[yocto] Unable to find the ncurses libraries when running menuconfig

A bit of progress (found the cause of the error at least):

The script that is failing is: linux/scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/
*check-lxdialog.sh*

I added 'set -x' to the script so I could see the output as BitBake
executes it... The function within that script which is failing is *check()
*- in particular the following is failing:




*$cc -x c - -o $tmp 2>/dev/null <<'EOF'#include CURSES_LOCmain() {}EOF*

*Script output:*
*gcc -isystem/home/nick/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/include
-O2 -pipe -L/home/nick/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib
-L/home/nick/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/lib
-Wl,-rpath-link,/home/nick/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib
-Wl,-rpath-link,/home/nick/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/lib
-Wl,-rpath,/home/nick/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib
-Wl,-rpath,/home/nick/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/lib -Wl,-O1
'-DCURSES_LOC=<ncurses.h>' -DLOCALE
-L/home/nick/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/custom_machine_name/usr/lib64
-lncursesw -ltinfo -x c - -o .lxdialog.tmp*

This command is returning 1 when it should be returning 0 (i.e. successful
compile).

The exact error is:


*/usr/bin/ld: cannot find /lib64/libc.so.6/usr/bin/ld: cannot find
/usr/lib64/libc_nonshared.acollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status*

Where is it trying to find those libraries? In my host system (they don't
exist!) or the system root of my build? The files *only* exist in my system
root @ */home/nick/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/custom_machine_name/usr/lib64 *and
*/home/nick/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/custom_machine_name/lib64.*

I suspect that this may be due to the fact that my custom machine conf is a
multilib configuration...

Any further ideas?
