Trouble installing GHC binary on Sparc: msg#00010

Subject: Trouble installing GHC binary on Sparc

I've installed GHC on a Sparc machine, but when I run ghci, I get the following error message:

ld.so.1: /net/snowy/danvk/ghc-6.2.1/lib/sparc-sun-solaris2/ghc-6.2.1: fatal: libreadline.so.4: open failed: No such file or directory

The binary package I downloaded from www.haskell.org/ghc warned me against this:
"NOTE: you'll need libreadline.so.4 and libncurses.so.5. You should ensure you have this before you start, since without it GHC won't work at all. Grab the ncurses sources from GNU and build it if you don't have it."

My question is where I can get this libreadline.so.4 file. I downloaded ncurses from freshmeat and installed it, but it didn't create either of those files on the Sparc machine. Any advice would be much appreciated.
