Are these the pkg system versions?  If so, you need to install them via
pkg-add in order for things to get setup correctly.

You need to rerun ldconfig so that the hints file will realize that you
now have the ncurses library installed.  If you use pkg-add, it will do
this for you.

Whatever version is in the pkg system should work just fine :-)
