@toastal do you happen to know why purescript releases have ncurses problems now?

[justinwoo]

happens in 0.14.6 and 0.14.7

[toastal]

I don't. I don't really follow what the core team does at that closely, but I know ncurses has been an issue in the past and with different Linux distros

This is fixed in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/138555/files

Here is a temporary fix if you're still on nixpkgs 21.11.

  nixpkgs.overlays = [
    (self: super: {
      ncurses5 = super.ncurses5.overrideAttrs (attr: {
        configureFlags = attr.configureFlags ++ ["--with-versioned-syms"];
      });
    }) 
  ];
