Bweh... When using UTF-8, having only libncursesw5-dev installed is good enough. But when not using UTF-8, the plain libncurses5-dev is needed. I didn't have the latter installed. :|

Same thing on Xubuntu 17.04, Zesty. When configured with --disable-utf8, nano doesn't find any curses and fails to compile.

On a fresh install of Linux Mint 18.1 (based on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial), when one configures nano with --disable-utf8, the configure script does not find any curses.h -- it warns about this, and of course the compilation fails. When not using --disable-utf8, the ncurses header is found fine and compilation succeeds.

Attached are the two config.log files, for the disable and the enable case.
