    Hello - I'm new to this forum and relatively inexperienced in Linux. I'm having problems with installing GTM 4.2 under Red Hat 7.0.

    When I run the Configure script using root I get the following message:

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

    The output from rpm -qa|grep ncurses is:
    ncurses-devel-5.1-2
    ncurses-5.1-2

    Any suggestions or advice would be welcome.

    Thanks.

      Two choices, install ncurses4.2 or create a link to the ncurses5 libraries.

      I don't have RH7 handy so the details may differ but a symlink in
      /usr/lib/libncurses.so.4 -> /usr/lib/lib/ncruses.so.5.1 (or whatever
      it is called on your system) should work.

      Useful tool on linux, ldd filewhichcallssharedlibraries can help
      diagnose what is being requested.

      Thanks Sam, the symlink fixed the problem. Much appreciated.
