Prepare Ncurses to be compiled:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-shared |
Continue with compiling the package:
make |
Install the package:
make install |
Give the ncurses libraries executable permission:
chmod 755 /usr/lib/*.5.3 |
Move the libraries to the /lib directory, where they're expected to reside:
mv /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5* /lib |
Since the libraries have been moved to /lib, a few symlinks are currently pointing towards non-existing files. Recreate those symlinks:
ln -sf libncurses.a /usr/lib/libcurses.a && ln -sf ../../lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libncurses.so && ln -sf ../../lib/libncurses.so.5 /usr/lib/libcurses.so |
