libtinfo.so.5 miss in LFS-7.2's 5.14 Ncurses-5.9

[wangwangwar]

When make install, it shows:

tic: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libtinfo.so.5 is provided by ncurses and someone says just

ln -s /tools/lib/libncurses.so.5 libtinfo.so.5

It works.

This should not be needed. Exactly what commands did you run for Chapter 5 Ncurses?

[wangwangwar]

I run the last command

make install

[chris@…]

Yes, you said that at the beginning. I meant, *all* commands you ran to build Ncurses.

There is no mention of libtinfo in any log file.

From the package INSTALL:

 --with-termlib[=XXX]
   When building the ncurses library, organize this as two parts:  the
   curses library (libncurses) and the low-level terminfo library
   (libtinfo).  This is done to accommodate applications that use only
   the latter.  The terminfo library is about half the size of the total.

We do not use the --with-termlib option in LFS.
