Hello,
The LFS-6.1 book creates the /usr/lib/libcurses.so -> libncurses.so
symlink during ncurses installation. A possible problem is that ldconfig
also looks at that symlink. So after running the following commands as root:
cd /usr/lib ; /sbin/ldconfig ; ls -l lib{n,}curses*
the result is something like:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 23 12:02 libcurses.a -> libncurses.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jun 23 12:03 libcurses.so -> libncurses.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 103046 Jun 23 12:03 libncurses++.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 369990 Jun 23 12:02 libncurses.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jun 23 12:03 libncurses.so ->
../../lib/libncurses.so.5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun 23 12:14 libncurses.so.5 -> libcurses.so
Note the last symlink (created by ldconfig). I don't know if it is a
real problem (but it sometimes shows e.g. in ldd /bin/bash on
glibc-2.3.5 based systems). If this symlink is indeed bad, it can be
removed and the libcurses.so -> libncurses.so symlink can be replaced
with a simple linker script:
rm libncurses.so.5
rm libcurses.so
echo 'INPUT(-lncurses)' >libcurses.so
If the symlink is a non-problem, sorry for the noise.
