ncurses is a file that you absolutely have somewhere - your
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH is incorreect or inadequate.  In fact I change from
termcap to ncurses because of your flavor of LInux - RedHat still has
both.  See your system manager for help

This is your system problem and is not due to any recent change we
have made.  I assume that -ltermcap would have worked no better on
