I realize that is the problem and I can read just fine, I was following the FAQ published by Phil to enable State Top. The whole point of the question was in asking if I did something wrong as compared to what the FAQ said and looking for some guidance on where to go from there. It's obvious that the version of ncurses on the Solaris companion CD is 32 bit as well as the sunfreeware.com version. I downloaded the source code for ncurses and tried to compile it myself but could not get it to compile as a 64 bit library. Also, just for the sake of it, the drivers are the only thing that is 64 bit in IP Filter, the binaries themselves are 32 bit. In the end I used curses instead of ncurses. And I would like to thank you for your kind response, it was really refreshing.
