[GRASSLIST:1446] Re: Beta10 startup

[Kirk Schmidt]

Just an update for the record.

I verified that ncurses.so.5 was installed on my system, I checked in the
usr/lib/ directory and a file called libncurses.so.4.0  was present.  I
copied the file and called it libncurses .so.5 and my problems were solved.
