Re: [OSX] G4 compiled binary fails on G5

[Steven Tamm]

I'm running 10.3.7 on a G5 and only have ncurses.5.  However I have had 
this problem before.

My suspicion is that you have fink installed on your machine and the 
other person does not.  For example, I have fink and my build uses 
/sw/lib/ncurses.  Fink's ncurses is incompatible with the normal one by 
design.  If you look in the Makefile, the CC line will be "gcc 
-I/sw/include -L/sw/liib"  This is very useful for most builds, but not 
for binary builds.

You should recompile and either run
make CC=gcc
or
make-package -M,CC=gcc
