Unfortunately, I have this nagging thought that the installation scripts
should be changed to deal with the problem of allowing security (selinux)
settings to be turned off temporarily for the compilation process to
complete, either by asking the user's permission and then proceeding, or
simply making the required changes. I assume that would mean poplog can
only be installed on a multi-user machine by a system manager not an
ordinary user.

But I am now too sleepy to think it through...

Perhaps there's a standard solution for this sort of thing.

Presumably I was lucky not to encounter this problem previously because
ncurses had already been fully set up on all the machines where I built the
latest Poplog: two on campus and two at home. (PC and laptop).
