I just build a ncurses spkg. You can find it at
http://fsmath.mathematik.uni-dortmund.de/~mabshoff/sage/ncurses-5.6.spkg
Download it, install it via "spkg -i $PATHTOSPKG/$SPKG", then rebuild
python via "spkg -f spkg/standard/python--...."
After building libncurses you should have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sage-2.8.4.1]$ ls -al local/lib/libncurses*
-rw-r--r-- 1 mabshoff mabshoff 698474 Sep 17 11:45 local/lib/
libncurses.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mabshoff mabshoff 162458 Sep 17 11:45 local/lib/
libncurses++.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 mabshoff mabshoff 3028668 Sep 17 11:45 local/lib/
libncurses_g.a

Let me know what happens. We might have to specifiy the location of
libncurses in the Python makefiles if it still picks the one in /usr/
lib.
Cheers,
Michael
