[SOLVED] Wine can't find library: libncursesw.so.5

I've downloaded and compiled WINE with curses activated. This with MAKEPKG. The compiling went fine.
Here's my problem:

# wineconsole --backend=curses cmd.exe
Wine cannot find the ncurses library (  libncursesw.so.5 => /lib/libncursesw.so.5 (0xb7784000)).
err:wineconsole:WINECON_Init failed to init.

# find / -name libncursesw.so.5
/lib/libncursesw.so.5

When looking in /lib/, there's no file named libncursesw.so.5.

So, does anyone know how to solve this?

NOTE: This is in a server without any desktop environment.

-- EDIT --

After creating this thread I decided to go through my changes in /wine/src/wine-1.1.44/configure
Guess what, I just noticed I've missed adding a W here:

*) ac_cv_lib_soname_ncurses=`$ac_cv_path_LDD conftest$ac_exeext | grep "libncursesw\\.$LIBEXT" | sed -e "s/^.*\(libncursesw\.$LIBEXT[^       ]*\).*$/\1/"';2,$d'` ;;

It compiled fine without it, but did not work.

Guess Its time for bed before I make more stupid mistakes
