That's normal with ld.so 1.8.5 - the ldconfig tool complains about "wrong"
links (libncurses.so.1.9.9e should, technically, be linked
to libncurses.so.1, rather than .so.3 (DON'T CHANGE THESE LINKS!!! It's
just an optical problem))

The easiest way to get rid of the messages is to do ldconfig &>/dev/null,
but I'd recommend against it, as you might miss REAL error messages.
