很明显，如果我们通过yum或rpm下载安装，始终无法绕开root用户，除非我们不用yum或rpm。嗯，我们直接用源码安装。下载源码包，到http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ncurses/我们可以下到最新的源码包ncurses-6.1.tar.gz，通过rz上传至非root用户wlf的soft目录下，回到根目录，我们把源码包解压：
$ tar xzvf soft/ncurses-6.1.tar.gz
进入解压后目录，执行软件配置：
$ cd ncurses-6.1 $ ./configure --prefix=/home/wlf/ncurses --with-shared --without-debug --without-ada --enable-overwrite
接着进行编译：
$ make
最后安装：
$ make install
看到界面最后输出：
installing ./cursesapp.h in /home/wlf/ncurses/include/ncurses installing ./cursesf.h in /home/wlf/ncurses/include/ncurses installing ./cursesm.h in /home/wlf/ncurses/include/ncurses installing ./cursesp.h in /home/wlf/ncurses/include/ncurses installing ./cursesw.h in /home/wlf/ncurses/include/ncurses installing ./cursslk.h in /home/wlf/ncurses/include/ncurses installing etip.h in /home/wlf/ncurses/include/ncurses make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/wlf/ncurses-6.1/c++'
说明ncurses-devel依赖就装好了。
