I don't know - it is the precompiled stock SuSE 6.2 version. I'm a little
wary of messing around with it since SuSE depends heavily on ncurses - even
the bash shell relies on it so if I uninstall it to install another version
my system will be disfunctional. Maybe you can suggest a safe procedure here?
Can I check - as with nm or strings - is my version of ncurses was indeed
compiled with gpm support?

This is a snippet from the config.log. There is a failure notice at the end
which may have something to do with it..?
