Redhat Linux 9 - ncurses xterm problem

[Eman]

I am running Redhat Linux 9. One of my applications required me to
downgraded my ncurses package to ncurses-4.2-25.i386 . Now, my
terminal and xterm don't startup.

Any ideas how to get it working ?

Thank you.

I'd have looked instead for a non-conflicting compatibility package (I
recall that Redhat did/does supply one). Keep the ncurses 5.3 package.
Putting things back right depends on what you'd done to "downgrade".
