That probably wouldn't help much as he said he is not using any Norton
tools in the first place :-). Moreover, Steve's problem is a simple
linker error, no crashing patch or kernel panics, if I read him
correctly.
Steve, the symbols ld is missing in your installation belong to
libslang, not to ncurses, so I'd suggest to check if slang is installed,
and possibly rebuilt under 10.2. It seems it did not include -lslang in
the linker commands at all, though it obviously included the slang
headers, so something must have gone wrong there. If in doubt just try
to rebuild slang, the 10.2 updater might not always detect which
packages need to be recompiled.
HTH,
