That's what I did originally and it failed to run on 2.6. Since in general, compiling on a lower OS version alows running on higher versions, I unpacked the 4.0.6 distro into a clean directory and ran configure/make on a 2.6 box. Configure just assumed there was a /usr/lib/libcurses.so.1 but there isn't on 2.6. I tried rebuilding from scratch again on 2.6 and it works on 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8. All I can think of is I must have somehow been running a version built with 2.8. Probably a link I'd created. Sorry for the noise ...
