This is a head scratcher.

Below is the output of ldconfig -p | grep libncur*
libncursesw.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so.5
libncursesw.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libncursesw.so
libncurses.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5
libncurses.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.5
libncurses.so.5 (libc6,x86-64) => /lib/libncurses.so.5
libncurses.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/libncurses.so

This is the error I get:

/cass/bin/m050ub02: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Clearly the libraries are listed in the ldconfig cache, but it can't seem to find them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Running RH ES 4.5 - I know it's old, there's a reason for it.

did you check if the file is really there? Is it accessible for the current user?

Yes it is there, I'll have to check the permissions. Thanks! News in a few.

Thanks,

They are all 755 for the files. Good idea, though. Still stuck on this one.

Thanks.

probably it is a 32/64 bit mismatch

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks.

there are two ways: first you can use the command file to check your libraries.
next: you can use strace <command> to check how your program started and what was really not found (and probably why)
