This problem usually occurs when there is no library by that exact name. It usually means a newer version is installed on your system. To fix that do (as root): ln -s /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4
That way you create a symlink from the newer (version 5) ncurses to the older version 4. In effect telling programs that want to use version 4, to use version 5 instead. Marco et all. Shouldnīt we perhaps considder recompiling the IDE for version 5 ? Version 4 is pretty ancient. I am not aware of compatibility issues, but then, I donīt use the IDE, I code in vim. A.J.
