Only if you uncommented "*shared*" in the Setup file. It looks like you
didn't. 
BTW, you shouldn't do
 make; make install
Use
 make && make install
instead or you may miss errors reported by the first make.

This is because the Lib/curses package is not installed. Solution: add
"curses" to LIBSUBDIRS in the Makefile. I think this is a bug.
