Maybe I'm naive, but I think that my Amiga used to work this way:

Open a shared library by name, check it's version. If version was less than some
number then exit.

Doesn't Linux have a link from a generic 'ncurses' library that points to the
latest version installed? Then the program should do a version check (included
with the library) and exit with a message saying it requires a certain version if
it is not greater.
