[Description Alessandro Surace 2010-02-12 16:40:46 UTC]

Hi dear, 
smbclient is unusable.
I get the error in summary when I try to use that.

To get it working I substitute the text file with the real lib. But this is only a WA. Where is the problem?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.smbclient 
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
smbclient: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.5: invalid ELF header

A fresh re-emerge doesn't help.

Did you try to reemerge ncurses ?
What does ldd on smbclient print ?

No I haven't but I don't think is was a problem related to that because today I've tested smbclient and it works without any problem although /usr/lib64/libncurses.so is a GNU ld script.

I don't understand where was the problem!
