Installing older versions of libncurses

I need to install libncurses4. Any idea how to do that in Ubuntu 9.04?

Google for libcurses4.

If you find an RPM, try installing it.

If you find a tarball, just extract it. If it has a shared library, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to it. When you compile curses applications, use "-I" to point to your libcurses4 header files.

Simple as that :-)
