New issue 607: ncurses dev required
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/607/ncurses-dev-required

VISTA synoptic tools:

Linux version 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64 (mockbuild at x86-13.phx2.fedoraproject.org) (gcc version 4.6.0 20110530 (Red Hat 4.6.0-9) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Mon Jun 13 19:49:05 UTC 2011

On running the yt install script:
Got a few warnings but it seemed to churn through OK
Issue appears on ipython session from:
 "/home/???????/yt-x86_64/bin/./ipython"  as user:
Since NO "tcl"-like features,
<up-arrow> for example puts out spurious chars.

Solution:
Appears ncurses-dev is required.
So as root I ran:
>yum install ncurses-devel
This seemed to fix the issue.
So the reason readline can't compile is it can't find libncurses -<ngoldbaum>
