right, that's what I want to do, and that's how I understand it also,
i.e., for 64-bit userland.
 
I guess I'll have to compile a 64-bit userland ncurses myself, or, can
I recompile and relocate to /lib64 etc the ncurses src.rpm to have a
64-bit variant installed also?

Or, even better, can I recompile ncurses multilibbed abd have both a
32-bit and 64-bit userland variants installed in two binary
sparc/sparc64 rpm packages?
