On my Debian testing, I have /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.6 but not /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5; this comes from the package libtinfo6, Which is in Debian 11 and 12. So it looks like your binary executable of gnatstudio was compiled on Debian 10 "Buster" which was released in July 2019. If you can't find a more recent gnatstudio, your best bet is therefore to install Debian 10, possibly in a chroot on your main system. If you feel adventurous, you can download the individial package from here: https://packages.debian.org/buster/libs/libtinfo5 but be warned that there may be other libraries needed by gnatstudio. What does ldd $(which gnatstudio) say? Also, where did you obtain gnatstudio from? I don't think you compiled it yourself? -- Ludovic Brenta.
