xgterm problem

Guest wrote on Oct 07, 2005

IRAF Folks,

I installed the latest version of IRAF and X11IRAF on a
computer with the latest version of Red Hat Linux Enterprise
edition. It runs fine except that plotting doesn't work, and
this appears to be related to a failure to run xgterm. When
I type 'xgterm' I get the following error:

xgterm: error loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I did check /usr/local/bin and found that the xgterm binary
was present. I would appreciate any suggestions.

Best,
