All Linux components as installed from pkgsrc (or pkgsrc-wip).

So I have:

reed@puget:/usr/pkgsrc/misc/openoffice$ pkg_info -L ncurses | grep /lib/.*curses
/usr/lib/libncurses++.a
/usr/lib/libncurses++.la
/usr/lib/libncurses++.so
/usr/lib/libncurses++.so.5
/usr/lib/libncurses++.so.5.4
/usr/lib/libncurses.a
/usr/lib/libncurses.la
/usr/lib/libncurses.so
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5
/usr/lib/libncurses.so.5.4

version.
