Package: libncurses5-dev
Version: 5.9-8
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
Since upgrade from squeeze to wheezy few days ago, "ld" reports that
libncurses.so.5 not found.
$ gcc -o foo foo.c -lncurses
/usr/local/bin/ld: cannot find libncurses.so.5
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
$ cat foo.c
char tgetent ();
int main ()
{
return tgetent ();
;
return 0;
}
# ld --version
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22
It seems that issue is in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so:
# cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so
INPUT(libncurses.so.5 -ltinfo)
Changing this to full path fixes problem:
# cat /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so
INPUT(/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5 -ltinfo)
