I downloaded the recently announced 2.0.16 and ran configure.
It said it could not find any of libncurses etc.  But I'm running
RedHat 6.0 and I do have ncurses.  Here is the proof:

[dirk at wskdpl dirk]$ rpm -q ncurses
ncurses-4.2-18
[dirk at wskdpl| dirk]$ rpm -ql ncurses  dirk]$ rpm -ql ncurses | grep lib
/usr/lib/libform.so.4
/usr/lib/libform.so.4.2
/usr/lib/libmenu.so.4
/usr/lib/libmenu.so.4.2
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.4
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.4.2
/usr/lib/libpanel.so.4
/usr/lib/libpanel.so.4.2

So why can't Octave's configure find it?
