I have been trying to install ncdu[1] Ncourses version of du which
should provide graphical presentation in cli of disk usage. I love
filelight but I would also like to have a cli graphical tool for disk
usage.

Has anybody suceeded in compiling ncdu for FC6 or F7? If you did
please tell me how - I can't make it compile.
