ncursews was what the binary image of dialogue was complaining about. 
But that's all behind me now because I'm using http://excess.org/urwid/ 
as was suggested by someone else.  So far, it works pretty well.  There 
are errors reported that aren't obvious in terms of what they indicate 
but like others software packages, once you acquire the scar tissue, it 
becomes something you tolerate.
