lncursesw problem

vitronix · 12-23-2012, 08:38 AM

Hello,

I tried to compile a free pascal program but it doesn't work.
The fp_err files gives the following output:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncursesw.

I tried to install ncurses-5.9, both by compiling and using the .deb package.

The programs in the ncurses directory run fine.

I am using Kubuntu 12.04.1, free pascal 2.6.0

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to LQ.

sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev
Provides /usr/lib/<arch>-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so

And when compiling from source, the configure option is : --with-ncursesw

.

Thanks !

It works, after I gave the sudo apt-get install libncursesw5-dev I had to run apt-get -f install then apt-get install libncursesw5-dev again.
Compiled an example and it runs like a champ
