use libncursesw. try reading the installation instructions for ncurses.
most recent builds have ncursesw. whether a package uses it or not is on a pkg by pkg basis.
tsk, tsk: Redhat's copy of dialog is about a year old. If that were updated, there would be enough excuse to close this. (The configure changes to use ncursesw for dialog are from March of this year).
