I think that might be it. It looks like I have libncurses-5.2-27, but I don't remember being given an update option, only install or uninstall. Then again I wasn't looking for an update option so I could have been staring right at it without seeing it. > If the ncurses package really is already installed, then it may be > a faulty install.

How do I find out if I have another libtinfo?

I took the easy way out. Pine installed without a hitch, so now I can use pico. Thanks! Katie ===== Only two things are necessary to keep a redhead happy.
