How did you "install" ncurses? Obviously not correctly.

Indeed, but a bit of looking around your CD would have located one with
a very similar name. BTW, if you had installed the default choices in
Slackware's "D" and "L" series, you would not have had this problem.
(There, I narrowed down your search considerably.)

isn't the one in 9.1 compiled with a newer (and backwards incompatible) gcc
+ glibc ?

that might explain why it doesn't work
