Try this:
% find /usr/lib -name "*curses*" -print
One of the results I get when I do it is is /usr/lib/libncurses.so.3.0, to
which I reply
% rpm -qf /usr/lib/libncurses.so.3.0
and rpm replies
ncurses-1.9.9e-8
If something like this happens to you it means you should probably upgrade
your ncurses package. Maybe others too. I say
% rpm -qa | grep ncurses
and rpm says
ncurses-devel-1.9.9e-8
ncurses-1.9.9e-8
So I figure if I want to run the program I need to install newer versions
of ncurses and ncurses-devel, since it looks like they travel as a team.
Another suggestion. Assuming you didn't, maybe you should try to install
bitchX using an rpm. I'm pretty sure one exists in the RH contrib
section.
