Somehow, libncurses is present in two copies, with different dates and file sizes. This may be the reason I'm having problems using unixODBC so I want to clean this up. Did not find the file containing libncurses; it may well be in one of the base Slackware files, such as aaa_libs.
Here are the two directories' contents: ll /lib/libncurses* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Mar 9 2014 /lib/libncurses.so.5 -> libncurses.so.5.9* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 313416 May 7 2013 /lib/libncurses.so.5.9* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar 9 2014 /lib/libncursesw.so.5 -> - libncursesw.so.5.9* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 395048 May 7 2013 /lib/libncursesw.so.5.9* Need to remove the 2013 files while leaving the 2014 files in place. and ll /usr/lib/libncurses* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 414822 May 7 2013 libncurses++.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 416350 May 7 2013 libncurses++w.a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 488966 May 7 2013 libncurses.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Mar 9 2014 libncurses.so -> - /lib/libncurses.so.5* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Nov 7 2010 libncurses.so.5 -> libcurses.so* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 592644 May 7 2013 libncursesw.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Mar 9 2014 libncursesw.so -> - /lib/libncursesw.so.5* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Nov 7 2010 libncursesw.so.5 -> libcursesw.so* Need to remove the 2010 and 2013 copies while leaving the 2014 copies in place. Don't know if the solution is distribution-specific or -agnostic.
