maisha (and anyone else with this problem): when I tried to run frotz in Jag, I got this error message: "dyld: frotz can't open library: /usr/local/lib/libncurses.dylib.5 (No such file or directory, errno = 2)". When I looked in /usr/local/lib, I found a file (actually a sumbolic link) called libncurses.5.dylib. Embarrassingly, it took me forever to realize that these two file names were different (the 5 in a different place). Here's what I did to fix the problem. in the Terminal, enter "sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib /usr/local/lib/libncurses.dylib.5". This creates a link from the name frotz is expecting to the file it really wants. (A more professional solution I guess would involve editing the frotz source files.)
