I'm just learning to program using the ncurses library on SuSE9.1. However, it seems that while there are a few versions of the libcurses.so.{x} and libncursesw.so.{x}.{y}...(?) shared objects, there is no established libcurses.so link (like many of the other system libraries).
Is this just a minor bug?
No, it's a case of "RTFM"... ;-)
I'm getting by for now by making a symbolic link to libncursesw.so.5 and it seems to be working alright for my limited needs. Is this correct? Has anyone else experienced this?
Amazing - how can you even compile your program when you don't have the
ncurses-devel package installed - which includes both the link AND, more
importantly, all the ncurses header files (/usr/include/ncurses.h)?
That should have given you a hint that your system is not set up for NCurses
development.
