problems using libtool with version 5.3

[Mr E_T]

using -with-libtool option in configure produces incorrect library prefix
( 5.0.3 instead of 5.3 )

Also produces following errors-
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libncurses.so.5: undefined
symbol: gpm_fd

This problem comes about from not linking in libgpm.

Both compile, make and install correctly

However due to the fact that some programs are linked to the ncurses library
and not to the gpm library the computer will not boot.
