Bug 583858 – dev-util/android-ndk-11c: .../prebuilt/.../bin/clang: linked to libtinfo.so.5

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andriy Utkin (RETIRED) 2016-05-23 10:13:32 UTC]

After installing android-ndk-11c (the latest as of now), I get this error:

/opt/android-ndk/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang
/opt/android-ndk/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/clang: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In my Gentoo system I have such versions of ncurses:

[IP-] [  ] sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r101:5/5
[IP-] [  ] sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1:0/6

There are lib*curses*.so* files in /usr/lib/, but no libtinfo.

As a workaround, creating symlink manually works:

ln -s /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5

can you confirm if re-emerging ncurses with USE=tinfo enabled fixes this?
If it does i'll add the useflag to the deps and should fix this.

Yes, "USE=tinfo emerge -atv =sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r101" fixes this.
