libncurses.so.5

I have a small sctipt called dict under my /usr/local/bin.

# cat dict
#!/usr/bin/ksh -f

set word=$1

# lynx is a text-based browser
# available free on the web/net.
lynx -cfg=/dev/null -dump " http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=${word}" | more

The PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables are as follows:

# echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/ssl/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
#
# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib:/usr/local/bin

When I try to run this script (/usr/local/bin/dict), the following error is returned.

# /usr/local/bin/dict
ld.so.1: lynx: fatal: libncurses.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory

In fact I have downloaded and installed libncurses.so.5 from http://www.autistici.org/bolic1/tools/packets/

Your help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

I'm trying to run a file name remote build which is to build a package on a target server. My target server is HP-UX-itanium 64 bit. When I run the remote build, somehow it cannot find `libncurses.so` or maybe it looks for the `libncurses.so` at some other location. This only happens on HP-UX...
