Guys,
If you thought this was a weird error, the solution seems to be even
weirder. I just updated the kernel from the RHEL5.2 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5
to vanilla 2.6.24.7, and the fuse packages (including the kernel module)
from the previous 2.7.3glfs10 to 2.7.4glfs11, and now ncurses works. So
either a bug fix somewhere between the two has resolved this issue, or
it has somehow shifted the error condition so it's not longer triggering.
Either way, curses now seems to work! Both the kernel "make menuconfig"
and nVidia driver installer now work happily. :)
It would be nice to know what fixed it, though.

Can you tell the exact errors which crop up during the failure? maybe
even get a screen/script log of the session?
This is the error - the bog standard error that the kernel compile
throws up when ncurses-devel package is missing. Except it isn't missing
in this case:
# make clean
# make menuconfig
HOSTCC scripts/basic/fixdep
HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc
HOSTCC scripts/basic/hash
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/kxgettext.o

/usr/src/linux is on nfs
/ is on glusterfs
The same works when / is on ext3 (from two different machines that mount
/usr/src from the nfs server).
Logs would be really useful, but I'm not sure how I could provide those
until syslog support becomes available in glusterfs. :(
