I've run into similar probs before and the way I always resolved it was
to reinstall the appropriate package. Now, I'm on Mandrake, but the
package management differs mainly in the commands so it should be
something like:

apt-get install [packagename]

I did:

[joehill at node1:~]>$rpm -qa | grep curses
ncurses-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk
libncurses5-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk
libncurses5-devel-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk

I believe that file should be included in one of the above packages,
probably the second, so try:

apt-get install libncurses

I did a google/linux search, but not much came up:
