I've just rebuilt termcap & ncurses, that went fine.  But now I'm 
trying to run some of the test programs that ncurses has.  And it 
appears that it just cannot erase the screen.  The curses is set to 
the top of the window, but all the text is still there.  I've tried a 
few different things for my TERM env variable, linux, ansi, pc-ansi, 
vt100,  etc.  They all behaved the same.

Might I have forgotten a step somewhere?
