./foldtrajlite: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

hi again :-)

i'[m hoping some one can help me with this

i'm using RH 7.0
i didnt have libncurses.so.4 so i downloaded it and rpm'd it in

now this is what i get
any one know how to fix this ?

Try this:


Redhat 7.1 Intel compiler version does not work on Redhat 7.3
The Intel compiler we use to build this version may not work under Redhat 7.3 due to changes made to glibc. Until a new Intel compiler is released which works properly, please use the Redhat 6.2 gcc version of the client. If when trying to run this version you get an error about libcurses.so.4 not being found, you may simply make a symbolic link from libcurses.so.5. Try the following:

> locate libcurses.so
(you see the full path of where the curses library is, such as:)
/usr/lib/libcurses.so.5
> cd /usr/lib
> ln -s libcurses.so.5 libcurses.so.4

This should make the missing library message go away.

no still not working
when i did
locate libcurses.so
i got no reply

when i look in usr/lib i see libcurses.so.4 flashing

could the problem be that I'm telneting in to the box ?

phooey-
should have read "locate libncurses.so"
all the other comands should be edited accordingly, changing libcurses to libncurses---
Guess that'll teach me to cut-n-paste w/o proofreading the source :(
