Subject: [ruby-talk:01971] Ruby 1.4.3 Linux RPM Question

# rpm -Uvh ruby-1.4.3-3mdk
error: failed dependencies:
        libncurses.so.5 is needed by ruby-1.4.3-3mdk
# uname -a
Linux bbs.meteor.org 2.2.5-15 #13 Thu Jan 6 10:59:30 CST 2000 i586 unknown
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 6.0 (Hedwig)
# rpm -q ncurses
ncurses-4.2-18

Why does the ruby RPM require ncurses, much less ncurses v5?
