| Summary | 0002170: Does not load. Ncurses error | ||||
| Description | When I try to run the program, I get the following error. ./libs/Dwarf_Fortress: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | ||||

This may be an ubuntu64 specific issue. In the /lib32 directory, I did sudo ln -s libncurses.so.5 libncursesw.so.5 And that fixed it. Note: On many systems, there is no longer a separate libncursesw. This started to be the case more often when Unicode became the rule instead of the exception. |

I had this issue running with ubuntu64 10.04 however I did not have the 32bit libraries installed on my system. I found 'getlibs' which installs 32bit versions of libraries and ran it (from my df dir) with: sudo getlibs libs/Dwarf_Fortress It successfully installed the 32bit version of libncursesw and DF now works fine. EDIT: getlibs can be found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=474790&highlight=getlibs |

getlibs says that I am not missing any dependancies. The biggest annoyance is that it got this error when set to "Standard" and "2D" print modes. :P At least I have figured out a workaround. |

Reminder sent to: Baughn Hey Baughn -- I assigned this one to you but wasn't sure if you saw it. |
|
|
I didn't. Hm. nurses uses function macros heavily, which makes it impractical to dlopen/dlsym the library. The preferred solution is to use autoconf to build a version for the particular system it'll be running on.. yeah, not really an option here. I'm going to have to think about this one. And ask some people. |
|
|
This is on Ubuntu, right? There's a lib32ncursesw5 package you should install. |
|
|
You can just re-close this. I am only posting to let you know that I did install that package, and it fixed the problem. I must have had a typo the first time I looked for it, as I missed it. Chalk this on up to user error. :) |

Closing as requested. |
