Hi, I has trying to install Fb4 Release at Centos 7.7 and got this error
message:
Please install required library 'libncurses.so.6' before firebird, after it
repeat firebird install
After creating the corresponding symlinks:
ln -s libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.6
ln -s libtommath.so.0 /usr/lib64/libtommath.so.1
The error persisted, so I edited the install.sh to reference previous libs:
from:
export LIBTOMCRYPT=libtomcrypt.so.1
export LIBCURSES=libncurses.so.6
to:
export LIBTOMCRYPT=libtomcrypt.so.0
export LIBCURSES=libncurses.so.5
And was able to install and use Fb4
Thanks!
PS: looks like the installer handles libtommath with "fixTomMat", but
doesn't do it with libncurses
PS: here is the debug install error:
