Did you compile it yourself?  That's the easiest way.

Yes. Off the cuff the only application I know which'd require
curses is xterm. You can compile a new version of xterm yourself.

Just link the version of libncurses you have to the version it's looking for.

Would you rather I told him to go through the entire XFree86 source replacing all occurances of libncurses 4?

it's not necessary (if he's running Redhat, they have some variation of
ncurses with version "4" where "5.0" or "5.1" was correct).  But linking
that way will break other applications which happen to use ncurses 4.2
