Missing ncurses lib

[kaisom]

./game: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Where do I find this library? Thanks in advance.

nvm, i think i found it with the package manager. Still an unexpected error; needs to be fixed -- and I trust Adrian is working on it.

The same here with Linux Mint 20.1 Ulyssa base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal :
xxx@xxxx:~$ ~/regnum/rolauncher

(rolauncher:4939): GLib-CRITICAL **: 23:00:23.178: Source ID 944 was not found when attempting to remove it
./game: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
But i can launch it with steam on same pc....

Regnum expects an outdated library. You can solve this by pretending to the game it exists by creating a link from the new one.

For example, on Ubuntu 20.04:

ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.6 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.5

The path /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ might be different depending on your distribution.

As today it seems you can install both on Ubuntu20-based systems.


sudo apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses6


If you only install libncurses6, you can just create a symbolic link (as already said):

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.6.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5
