[daip] AIPS on 64-bit LINUX (FC6)

[Wes Young]

Looks like you are missing a 32bit version of libncurses.so.5. You  
might looks to see what versions of libncurses resided in /usr/lib.   
Did you build from source or binary download? If you did the binary,  
you may need to build from source to get the appropriate version of  
libncurses.
