I'm looking at the things which the TeX Live binary installer links to on a 7.4 system. Mostly, all is fine (LFS libs, and X-related libs), but for asy [ asymptote ] and xindy.run, ldd reported that libncurses.so.5 was not found.
It seems eminently possible that this problem is "mine, all mine" (I've maybe fubar'd the non-wide part, I don't normally run precompiled binaries) and I get to keep all the pieces. But a quick look in LFS (without spending a lot of time on the detail, my brain is already severely frazzled with TeX) suggests that we only create libncurses.so.5 in /lib. I tried copying /usr/lib/libncurses.so [ INPUT(-lncursesw) ] to /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5, ldd reported 'file too short'. Same if I symlinked .so.5 to .so. What works for me is ln -sv /lib/libncursesw.so.5 /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
