Hi, I'm having some problems with the installation of psmisc package (in
chapter 6.26). I have followed every single instruction in the book
carefully and when I try to prepare the package for its compilation it says:
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for tgetent in -ltinfo... no
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
configure: error: Cannot find tinfo, ncurses or termcap libraries
Because it says that the problem is with ncurses, I decided to reinstall
it. The first time I build it, when I typed the command:
mv -v /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6* /lib
The bash prompt say that the file doen't exist. However, when I type the
next command, which is a symlink, the file appers in both folders.
I do not know if that is related with psmisc, but I don't know what to do.
Should I wait until textinfo (because it is another option) is installed
and then come back at this package? What can I do to solve it?
Thanks in advance
I'm quite sure you mistyped something when installing ncurses. I'm so
sure because I got the same error...
You really need to ensure to have done all of:
mv -v /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6* /lib
ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /usr/lib/libncursesw.so)
/usr/lib/libncursesw.so
for lib in ncurses form panel menu ; do
rm -vf /usr/lib/lib${lib}.so
echo "INPUT(-l${lib}w)" > /usr/lib/lib${lib}.so
ln -sfv ${lib}w.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/${lib}.pc
done
rm -vf /usr/lib/libcursesw.so
echo "INPUT(-lncursesw)" > /usr/lib/libcursesw.so
ln -sfv libncurses.so /usr/lib/libcurses.so
Cheers Tim
