Your Linux distribution pulled a cute stunt that throws the dynamic loader
(used for TH and ghci and a few other things) for a loop:  libncurses.so,
for backward compatibility purposes, is a GNU ld linker script which
references libncursesw.so in a way the dynamic loader doesn't understand.
 You can work around this in one of two ways:

1. replace /usr/lib/libncurses.so with a symlink to
/usr/lib/libncursesw.so; OR
2. edit /usr/lib/libncurses.so, which is a text file (linker script), to
reference "/usr/lib/libncursesw.so" instead of "-lncursesw".
