$ ll /usr/lib/libcurses.so
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 Aug  5  2001 /usr/lib/libcurses.so -> libncurses.so.5.2
$ ldd -v /usr/lib/libcurses.so

hmmmm
What's libcurses/libncurses s'posed to do?

$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libncurses.so    
ncurses-devel-5.2-5

$ rpm -qa|grep curses
compat-ncurses-4.2-8
ncurses-5.2-5
ncurses-devel-5.2-5
ncurses-devel-static-5.2-5
ncurses-termcap-devel-5.2-5
ncurses-termcap-devel-static-5.2-5

I think I'll install all the ncurses*.rpm's (and the compat-ncurses* rpm) from eW3.1.1 and see what happens.


I'm not too worried about those kde2 lib references. My sons and I are currently using KDE3 and I'll be moving the wife over (she's got an aversion to change) in the not too distant future. Once I either get this atexit error worked out, or build myself an LFS system :-)

Thanks,
