Hi Chris: The program ldd allows you to see all the shared libraries a program/objec uses. The program nm shows you all of the symbols within a program/object. I know that there is a manpage covering initscr and a number of other functions commonly used in ncurses. Manpages are always packaged with there respective program/libraries so if there is no manpage for initscr then the library you want is not installed. Compile time libraries get staticly linked into an object, runtime are usually shared libraries which get called by the program while it is running. Good Luck.
