"Can't load library libncurses.so.4: can't open file" starting isql in IB 5.11 on Redhat 5.0 Linux
Abstract: "Can't load library libncurses.so.4: can't open file" starting isql in IB 5.11 on Redhat 5.0 Linux
Problem:
Starting isql on Redhat 5.0 Linux and received the error message:
"Can't load library libncurses.so.4: can't open file".
Solution:
The error is due to Redhat 5.0 not having this library.
The library libncurses.so.4 is specific to RedHat version 5.1.
Note: The release notes for InterBase 5.11 for Linux indicate that
InterBase is certified to run on Redhat 5.1.
The workaround is to create a symbolic link libncurses.so.4 to
libncurses.so.3.0 on Redhat 5.0. The libraries are located in the:
/usr/lib directory. Please keep in mind InterBase 5.11 for Linux
is not certified to run on RedHat 5.0.
