OK, I'm really at my wits' end on this one.  I have completely reinstalled
base12 and comp12.  I've done everything short of formatting the hard
drive.  As a recap: *any* C++ program (even a text file with no includes,
just "main() { return 0; }"), will compile and link ok, but when I run it
(or any existing pre-compiled c++ apps I have), I get:

% ./foo
/usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "_tgetstr" in foo:/usr/lib/libcurses.so.2.1

I am *not* including, implicitly linking, or in any way involving
libcurses!!  What on earth is going on???
