As I stated in my email I have the libltinfo.so:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libtinfo*  /lib/libtinfo*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     15 May 30 09:59 /lib/libtinfo.so.5 -> 
libtinfo.so.5.7
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 130136 Feb  3  2010 /lib/libtinfo.so.5.7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     23 May 30 10:29 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so -> 
../../lib/libtinfo.so.5

My system is 32 bit.

I am really puzzled why it is doing this on my system :( :(
and not on others. When I do yum update, everything is up to date .
