Possibly LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in user's environment, causing bash to become confused about which library to use. I seem to recall that a Debian guideline for packaging says to not use the rpath feature (which would prevent this problem). It is not a bug in ncurses, but a problem with the user's environment or custom configuration. As it is, there are a few possible solutions (by the user): + repair the environment (i.e., dropping /usr/local/sage/local/lib from LD_LIBRARY_PATH) + remove the conflicting library from /usr/local/sage/local/lib -- Thomas E.
