SuSE has a somewhat different packaging of curses than do other installation. It'd be ideal if pypy-c would be immune to that, but so lacking I did:
1) symlink tinfo to ncurses: /usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.5 -> libncurses.so
2) symlink panel.h to ncurses/panel.h /usr/include/panel.h -> ncurses/panel.h
Thanks. That seems to have worked. I now have a prompt and many pystones: % ./pypy-c Python 2.7.3 (5acfe049a5b0cd0de158f62553a98f5ef364fd29, Jun 28 2013, 15:39:43) [PyPy 2.0.2] on linux3 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. And now for something completely different: ``PyPy and CPython: they are mortal enemies intent on killing each other''
