Hi Chris:  The program ldd allows you to see all the shared libraries
a program/objec uses.  The program nm shows you all of the symbols
within a program/object.  I know that there is a manpage covering
initscr and a number of other functions commonly used in ncurses.
Manpages are always packaged with there respective program/libraries
so if there is no manpage for initscr then the library you want is not
installed.

Compile time libraries get staticly linked into an object, runtime are
usually shared libraries which get called by the program while it is
running.

Good Luck.

  Kirk
