ncurses problem

[deathkill]

i'm trying to use silvio's libs and binaries on my A780 but it only works halfway. (http://pashkovsky.com/e680/)
i read it should also work on the A780

problem is that with most things it complains about not being able to find the ncurses lib.

example of the error when running less:
--
less: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
--

i have all the libs in /diska/lib:
--
# ls -al /diska/lib
total 1088

i also execute this directly on the shell:
--
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/helix:/diska/lib
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/diska/bin:/diska/bin
--

echo $PATH gives me:
--
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/diska/bin:/diska/bin
--

so what could be wrong or is it just not meant to work on the A780?

[mightymop]

simply rename libncurses.so.5.4 to libncurses.so.5

[deathkill]

simply rename libncurses.so.5.4 to libncurses.so.5

jep that fixes it for the A780

just curious....
how come then that those libs do work on the 680 and not on the A780?

[mightymop]

i think there was the same problem.... silvio only made a mistake while renaming the files i've read or sth. like that..

who cares? it works

[deathkill]

that explains...

works real nice...
im glad to have a normal bash now
