Okay, the -q thing is a joke, don't worry about it :) There should have not been a libncurses.so.4; if there was, there should have been libncurses.so.4.[01] as well. The major/minor stuff is all quirky, and you can thank Sun for all that bother, ELF now has a much simpler way, thankfully. Anyway, there should not have to be any type of mucking around in the sources to get sysinstall to compile, it should be as simple as cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall; make all install clean.
