Starting with Red Hat 5.1, /usr/lib/terminfo has been moved to /usr/share/terminfo, which breaks old libc5 programs that use the old ncurses library, which still points to the old path. Fortunately, the fix is trivial: ln -s ../share/terminfo /usr/lib/terminfo Perhaps this symlink should be included in the libc5 package, or the path should be updated in the old ncurses library included with libc5.
I believe this bug report may be considered a duplicate for bug report #144
