it shows that system can't find the shared libraries
"libtinfo.so.5".maybe your system has been damaged, specially for
the /lib directory. you'd better boot the livecd from CDROM and
reinstall the system.

>From my Fedora10, the libtinfo is here:
[ray at localhost /]$ ll /usr/lib/libtinfo.so 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2008-11-28 17:57 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so
-> ../../lib/libtinfo.so.5
[ray at localhost /]$ ll /lib/libtinfo.so.5
libtinfo.so.5    libtinfo.so.5.6  
[ray at localhost /]$ ll /lib/libtinfo.so.5*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    15 2008-11-28 17:56 /lib/libtinfo.so.5 ->
libtinfo.so.5.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 98036 2008-10-02 21:02 /lib/libtinfo.so.5.6

Thanks,
