We would have to check the official curses interface specification to 
know the "right" fix.  However, if your system comes with curses and 
ncurses installed this way we should be able to support it without much 
trouble.  Please submit a bug report here:

Meanwhile you can work around the problem by hacking the source yourself 
before building or creating your own "curses.h" that just includes 
"ncurses.h".
