Erlang: Building Issue of not finding Ncurses on Solaris 10

Question
I am trying to build Erlang on Solaris 10. The build process fails with the message that it can not find libncurses.so.5.
I have installed libncurses from sunfreeware.com, which I have build from scratch and has installed itself in /usr/local/lib/.
I have tried to set LDFLAGS with -L/usr/local/lib/ but have still had no luck.
What am I missing so that make picks up the library?
I am using GNU Make 3.81 and GCC 3.4.6.
Solution
Could you post the relevant bit from config.log?
Did you also set the include path with -I in either CPPFLAGS or CFLAGS?
Update: You could also try installing Erlang from OpenCSW instead.
