[Opengrads-devel] Ncurses added to the supplibs

[Arlindo da S. <da...@al...>]

All,

  I just added ncurses-5.6 to the supplibs source tree.  Readline uses
either termcap or ncurses, whichever was present on the build machine. Since
some distributions only have termcap while others only have ncurses, this
has been a portability impedemente. A case in point is Hoop's i686 binaries
that Jennifer just announced. It fails on my mandriva box with the error

./grads: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

If you have built the supplibs from sources he is how to update:

% cd supplibs/src
% cvs upd -d GNUmakefile ncurses
% rm readline.*
% make install ALLDIRS="ncurses readline"

Then rebuild grads and ncurses should link statically.
