How can I check if ncurses is installed in a Red-Hat Linux OS? One solution is to use <pre class="prettyprint"><code>dpkg -l '*ncurses*' | grep '^ii' </code></pre> But I don't even have the dpkg package in my system, and since I don't have the administrative rights, I can't install it.

On RedHat based systems there is (mostly) no <code>dpkg</code> but you can use <code>rpm -qa | grep ncurse</code>
