libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file #104

libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file #104

Comments

After the latest software update on my Pop!_OS (which is basically Ubuntu ), spago started to throw an error:

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

After some investigation I found out that I have libtinfo.so.6 not libtinfo.so.5 and the way to fix this problem is to create this symlink:

sudo ln -s /path/to/libtinfo.so.6 /path/to/libtinfo.so.5 

I understand that it’s not exactly a spago issue, but I still want to bring this up

• to save people that are facing this issue some googling time
• to find out if this fix is a correct way solve this problem

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

After reading that issue I’m not sure there’s a «proper way to fix it» on our side 🤔

Of course an option would be to compile a static binary for Linux.

I wouldn’t want to impose that cost on everyone anyway. If someone really cares, they can patch the binary themselves e.g. https://github.com/justinwoo/easy-purescript-nix/blob/master/spago.nix

But many programs won’t work without ncurses and other dependencies anyway

Turns out the reason why this happens is that we build spago on the fpco/stack-build Docker image, which is based on Ubuntu 16.04, which ships libtinfo.so.5 , while it looks like the latest Ubuntu ships with libtinfo.so.6 .

Since the latest Ubuntu has issues in compiling Haskell (source: a colleague has to use Nix to compile our Haskell stuff on his latest Ubuntu, and this is probably also the reason why FP Complete is still on Ubuntu 16), we probably cannot do anything about this. (short of statically compiling, which I’d avoid for now, as it’s some effort to configure)

So I’ll close this as «we cannot do much», but it’s probably worth adding an entry to the FAQ?

Libtinfo so 5 linux

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6

./yagac-linux-x86_64: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5: version `NCURSES_TINFO_5.0.19991023′ not found (required by ./yagac-linux-x86_64)

I could install fbc on 20.04, and got it to compile both 32-bit and 64-bit, by installing all those libs:

sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib libncurses-dev libncurses-dev:i386 libx11-dev libx11-dev:i386 libxext-dev libxext-dev:i386 libxpm-dev libxpm-dev:i386 libxrandr-dev libxrandr-dev:i386 libxrender-dev libxrender-dev:i386 libzip-dev libzip-dev:i386 libgl-dev libgl-dev:i386

But then, the resulting executables will require libtinfo.so.6 instead of libtinfo.so.5.
So they won’t work on previous Ubuntu versions. :~(

I love Linux, but what a mess.

Yes, I think I’ll need to do that. It means I’ll have to ship it with a runner script to set the libpath and load.
Also if I’m going to stick to 20.04, I need to figure out how to compile using the older libs. The glibc that ships with 20.04 is not backwards compatible it seems.
I remember having to do that years ago. I think I have just dropped the ‘.a’ libs in /usr/local/lib/freebasic/. not sure. I’ll test it.

I used to try to do this in the past too. Now I only make multiple builds in VMs for the various LTSes, and don’t even attempt to support all distros. Much less work, and the experience is better.

Couldn’t get it to compile with a different glibc.
I miss the old standalone fbc.
When I compile from 18.04, the executables are compatible down tô 14.04 if I’m not mistaken.
It’s been a while since such breakage hapenned.
A VM is a solution. I will only need it for the final buils anyway.
Maybe I can setup a minimal container or a chroot.
Hm. a fbc snap with older libs could work.

I just built FBC 1.07 on my Centos 8 machine. I had to install the ncurses compatibility libraries to get my old bootstrap version of fbc to run. After building, the fbc compiler, runtime, and subsequent compiled executables all link against libtinfo.so.6, as I would expect. FBC is using the system GCC 8.3.1 compiler.

Note that while the CentOS 8 ncurses-compat-libs rpm supplies libtinfo.so.5 to make existing programs work, it does not provide header files, so the older fbc binaries will not be able to make working executables (no matter what the emitter is) since the new binaries will want to link against libtinfo.so.6 and the FB runtime will want libtinfo.so.5. Bootstrapping the latest fbc from an older version of fbc isn’t too difficult.

On Ubuntu 20.04, either look for a compatibility library, or copy libtinfo.so.5 from another machine and use it just long enough to bootstrap a working version of the latest FBC that targets your system library versions.

I’m not quite sure what you meant when you miss the old standalone FBC. The problem with libtinfo.so.5 has nothing to do with FBC and everything to do with changes in the OS. You’d still encounter this problem even with the 32-bit assembly emitter version of FBC.

Note that all new distros are shipping libtinfo.so.6 now, and not all ship compatibility for libtinfo.so.5. So any binaries you ship will have to take that into account.

The thing I miss about the standalone fbc is that it helped me avoid the GLIBC compatibility issue. I used to drop older .a libs (mostly libc.a) in /usr/local/lib/freebasic/. and could get it to compile executables compatible with older distros. I couldn’t make this work with current fbc, but it’s been a while so I really can’t remember the details.

The libtinfo is a different thing. I think I can statically link libtinfo into my executables by dropping the libtinfo.a into /usr/local/lib/freebasic/. , but I’m not sure that’s allowed.

I’m trying to build a FreeBASIC snap with a 18.04 (core18) environment. No luck so far.
