Do you want the long answer or the short answer? Since you didn't use the -q (quiet) argument in the subject, I think you may want the long one *g* Here we go: 1. ld will work with libraries of any name. Hence it will link with a libncurses.so.4. 2. ld.so itself likes libraries with majors _AND_ minors, not just majors, so when ld.so looks at the a.out headers and reads libncurses.so.4 it looks for libncurses.so.4.-1 3. there is no libncurses.so.4.-1; there _SHOULD_ be something like libncurses.so.4.0, as with no major and minor, it's not really right at all, now is it? 4. Biggest question: why is your /usr/lib/aout polluted? Libncurses.so.4 would be referring to a newer version, not the one in the FreeBSD source tree, and not the intended one to be used. I would assume if you copied it from /usr/local/lib to there it's alright and you just missed libncurses.so.4.0. If that's not the case, you've got something wrong when libncurses isn't being installed to /usr/local/lib (not the one in the source tree) 5. Why the heck do you even have to ask this, rather than recompiling sysinstall? *LART* Cheers, Brian Feldman On Sat, 26 Sep 1998, Vallo Kallaste wrote: > Hello ! > > I can't use sysinstall for a week or so, it complains about missing > libncurses.so.4.-1.
