Nice!
It depends on one more lib now:

Modified:
~> ldd /usr/bin/ncal 
/usr/bin/ncal:
        libcalendar.so.4 => /usr/lib/libcalendar.so.4 (0x800643000)
        libncurses.so.7 => /lib/libncurses.so.7 (0x800745000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x80088f000)

Old:
~> ldd /home/jails/kde4/usr/bin/ncal
/home/jails/kde4/usr/bin/ncal:
        libcalendar.so.4 => /usr/lib/libcalendar.so.4 (0x800642000)
        libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x800744000)

Does it work good in single user mode?
(Don't want to go to it right now myself).
OTOH, who needs cal/ncal in single user mode? :)

Just my 0.02$,
Alexey.
