`ncurses' on BLADE_0.3

Hello everybody,
I don't succeed to use initscr() of BLADE_0.3 libncurses.a: a source like:

/** start **/
#include <ncurses.h>
main() {
(void)initscr();
}
/** end **/

compiled, linked with "-lncurses", then runned on the system console displays:

Error opening terminal: console

However the following `curses' variant works:

/** start **/
#include <curses.h>
main() {
(void)initscr();
}
/** end **/

[this time the .o is linked with options "-lcurses -ltermcap".]

Is there a new version of `ncurses' (installable on BLADE_0.3)
that works better than the BLADE_0.3 one ? Or a patch ?

Thanks,
fred
