I take back what I wrote about Fedora. I think Fedora uses a 755
permission as well.
And SuSE, Slack and Mandrake. They all set permissions at 755. Only
Debian (and Ubuntu) set the permissions at 644.
Ncurses seems to work OK on Ubuntu so I don't know why we need to set
the permissions at 755
Neither do I, and investigating lib perms has been on my TODO list for a
while since an earlier email to -support (can't find it at the moment,
unfortunately). An audit of my recently built gcc-4.0.1 system shows
most .so files having 755 perms, and some having 777! That's not
exactly a good way of protecting those files from being hosed now, is it!
Thanks to Tarek and yourself for highlighting the issue, I'll send this
one over to -dev!
Matt.
