Description
This library is needed by some console Windows applications.
Resolution
On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:
/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibncurses missinglibncurses.amd64
Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.
Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.
- For 32-bit Windows applications
Debian : apt-get install libncurses5:i386
32-bit Fedora >= 13 : yum install ncurses-libs
64-bit Fedora >= 13 : yum install ncurses-libs.i686 ncurses-libs.x86_64
32-bit Fedora >= 24 : dnf install --best ncurses-compat-libs
64-bit Fedora >= 24 : dnf install --best ncurses-compat-libs.i686 ncurses-compat-libs.x86_64
32-bit openSUSE : zypper install libncurses5
64-bit openSUSE : zypper install libncurses5-32bit - For 64-bit Windows applications
Debian : apt-get install libncurses5:amd64
Fedora >= 13 : yum install ncurses-libs
Fedora >= 24 : dnf install --best ncurses-compat-libs
openSUSE : zypper install libncurses5
Notes:
- cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
- The commands usually also apply to newer versions of the distributions above as well as derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian 7 may still be valid for the latest Debian Testing and is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
