$ ldd `which screen` | grep curses
    libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40022000)
$ cat version.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <curses.h>

int main()
{
    /* curses_version() is ncurses specific IIRC */
    printf("%s\n", curses_version()); 
    return(0);
}
$ gcc -lncurses version.c
$ ldd a.out | grep ncurses
    libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40022000)
$ ./a.out
ncurses 5.1.20000708
