'curses' library and you don't. If you don't have
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.1 on your system, then you should install
it, or /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1, from the distribution media.
Well, this guy was me 
This will be the last binary distribution based on curses.
The 4.2.1 GRASS Linux binaries are already compiled with ncurses,
I will do it for GRASS 5.0 Linux binaries as well soon.
Sorry for any problems
