The current distribution only provide libncurses3 and 5. A LOT of the package on my computer use libncurses 4 even tetex1.0.7 given in the current distribution ! Is not it possible to add a symbolic link libncurses4 -> libncurses5 (with the correct extension as I am not an C programmation expert)
Adding symlinks in the library dirs is possible, but it's not a good idea as a matter of standard practice, as it leads to problems (and dangling symlinks) on install/uninstall. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 10445 ***
