The Chapter 6 ncurses instructions in the LFS dev book have this construction:

        echo "INPUT(-l${lib}w)" >/usr/lib/lib${lib}.so ; \
        ln -sfv lib${lib}w.a /usr/lib/lib${lib}.a ; \
done

That "rm /usr/lib/lib..." line is not needed. If any of those files exist, they will be replaced on the next command (echo "INPUT"...) anyway.

You are right, that's left over from some old LiveCD build where I found some issues with reinstallation of ncurses. Looks like those issues are no longer there, and the "rm" command is not needed. But please verify this by reinstalling ncurses over themselves.


I reinstalled ncurses over itself successfully. I'm not sure what you want me to "verify" - should I have seen an error?
