BitchX needs libncurses.so.4

[Jacques Du Pasquier]

Hello,

Using RedHat 5.0, I tried to install BitchX-75p1-1.i386.rpm, but it
won't, saying

  failed dependencies:
        libncurses.so.4 is needed by BitchX-75p1-1

So I found ncurses-4.2-8.i386.rpm, figuring that would do, and as rpm
-i would give conflicts, I used rpm -U to upgrade the package. But it
wouldn't either, saying

  failed dependencies:
        libpanel.so.3.0 is needed by ncurses-devel-1.9.9e-6
        libncurses.so.3.0 is needed by aumix-1.7-1
        libncurses.so.3.0 is needed by info-3.9-7
        (...)
        libmenu.so.3.0 is needed by ncurses-devel-1.9.9e-6
        libform.so.3.0 is needed by ncurses-devel-1.9.9e-6

I guess upgrading would break programs using the old version. But what
should I do, then? Maybe find a BitchX using version 3 of libncurses?
But how do I know which version uses what?

Thanks,

Jacques
