[GRASSLIST:2406] Re: libcurses.so.1

[Andreas Lange]

Dear Terry,

i was mistaken a bit about libcurses. On Linux systems libncurses is
installed and a softlink is provided to libcurses for programs that need
this library. But the info was correct otherwise. There must be some
curses/ncurses library on you system. 

But a search on the GRASS homepage revealed a lot of info about
libcurses and libncurses.

A link for d'ld curses/ncurses is provided in the file
REQUIREMENTS/REQUIREMENTS.html, but it seems that this file did not make
it into the binary distribution.
