[SOLVED] Error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5

Hi!
I'm trying to chroot, but:

/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libncurses.so.5 exists

Thanks,
SuperGnu

Is it exist in the chrooted environment too?

Yes it exist... every single dependency of bash is present in the chroot environment

May be your bash is 64-bit but your library is 32-bit or via versa?

If it's not the problem, than you can try to run chroot command under strace -f and see what files chrooted bash tried to access

thank you so much for this tip

i installed glibc with "--prefix=target/usr" instead of "--prefix=/usr" and "make install_root=target install".
according to strace bash searches libncurses.so.5 at the directory i installed glibc wich is a different
i'll try to recompile glibc and see what happens

You can just copy libnurses to where bash looks for it and be done,
without need to recompile libc
