NCurses has changed recently to take into account ncurses 6 so that in 
future everything should work out of the box. Fingers crossed.

You should be able to install ncurses 5 on arch:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ncurses5-compat-libs/

Perl6 NCurses module under Arch: libncursesw.so.6

2017-04-12 Thread mark carter 

I'm running:
This is Rakudo version 2017.01 built on MoarVM version 2017.01
implementing Perl 6.c.
under Arch.

When I do
$perl6 starfield.pl6
I get:
Cannot locate native library 'libncursesw.so.5': libncursesw.so.5: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


That is because version 6 of the ncurses library is installed, rather 
than 5.
