Hello, Ive just installed my prefered text editor, nano, but when im going to run nano, this just appears:

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libncursesw.so.6" not found , required by "nano"

What package do I need or what have I done wrong?

Regards, Roberth.

Hi Roberth,

This is what the error means:

The program executer can't find the library "libncursesw.so.6", which the binary "nano" needs to be available. If I understand this right, that means the shared library for ncursesw built for FreeBSD 6.

I would start looking in the ports tree for "ncurses", "ncursesw" and the like. If there's a port named "ncursesw" or "libncursesw", I would guess that's your missing library right there.

HtH,
