TinyCorePure64-17.0.iso missing libtinfo.so.6?

[nurbles]

I've been trying to figure this out, but so far none of the fixes suggested here (from older TC versions) have worked for me.  I am seeing this message when I try to run my application:

./rm88: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My application also links with ncurses (using the gcc link switch -lncursesw), which has been the most common solution.  I found four ncurses packages with the TC app installer and made sure that all of them are installed.  I tried making a link from libtinfo.so.6 -> /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so, but I still got the same error.  I'm going to try linking to each of the other two ncurses libs, but I thought I'd ask here just in case someone has already solved this problem "the right way."

Can (and will) anyone provide help, hints, links, or a full solution?  Thanks!

Never mind, I think.  I did this:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libncursesw.so.6 libtinfo.so.6

and tried running my program again.  This time it worked!

So, I have a fix, but is this the correct fix?  If so, should this link be automatically installed with the associated ncurses libraries?  It seems to me that it should.

Hi nurbles
Based on these links, libtinfo functions have been rolled
into libncursesw:
