No, as I said in my original post, it looks like the library *is*
there, just not where the package expects it to be.  A newer version of
the ncurses library exists, and the older version that the package
expects to find appears to be in a different directory.  So, to restate
my question, do I need to set a symbolic link pointing to the newer
version of the library, to the old version in another directory, or do
something else?

Cheers,
