In the 7.9 book we build ncurses-6.0 in section 6.20, so if you did not skip over that page ncurses should already exist in /lib amd /usr/lib, with include files in /usr and various links in /usr/lib. If you didn't skip that page, I suspect something went wrong during the various steps after 'make install' in 6.20. Looking at psmisc, it searches for the old ncurses, not the modern ncursesw, and we allow for that. First, /usr/lib/libncursesw.so should be a symlink to ../../lib/libncursesw.so.6 [ which is /lib/libncursesw.so.6 - we moved it to there. ] Second, /usr/lib/libncurses.so should exist, 'ls -l' should show a length of 18 bytes, and (if ok so far) you should be able to cat it: ken@jtm1 ~ $cat /usr/lib/libncurses.so INPUT(-lncursesw) ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
