    The basic problem here is that there are two system libraries that do
    essentially the same thing. One is called libtermcap, the other is called
    libcurses. Most systems have only one of these (indeed, why have both
    when they do the same thing?) and chances are that the RPM you are
    installing was built on a system with libtermcap whereas your system has
    libcurses...

    I can think of no easy solution to your problem. You can try putting
    libtermcap.so.2 in /usr/lib, but only the gods know whether it will
    work...

    Good luck, Frank
