How should breaking the package management on your box by introducing self compiled software which *replaces* packages from the base system help fix things? If you're lucky the ncurses sources have an uninstall target so you can say "make uninstall" in the source tree. Then get the ncurses rpms from <http://mirror.centos.org/> and install them with rpm -ivh --replacepkgs ncurses*.rpm.
