  • 1.  ncurses-6.2-1 missing ncurses6-config

    Posted Fri September 11, 2020 03:18 PM
    ncurses-6.2-1.ppc and ncurses-devel-6.2-1.ppc are missing ncurses6-config_32 and ncurses6-config_64, so ncurses6-config is a broken symlink.

    $ rpm -ql ncurses ncurses-devel | grep -e -config | xargs ls -ld
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 18 Sep 11 14:56 /opt/freeware/bin/ncurses6-config -> ncurses6-config_64
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 3833 Mar 11 2020 /opt/freeware/man/man1/ncurses6-config.1
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 38 Sep 11 14:55 /usr/bin/ncurses6-config -> ../../opt/freeware/bin/ncurses6-config
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 41 Sep 11 14:55 /usr/bin/ncurses6-config_32 -> ../../opt/freeware/bin/ncurses6-config_32
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 41 Sep 11 14:55 /usr/bin/ncurses6-config_64 -> ../../opt/freeware/bin/ncurses6-config_64
    $ ls -ld /opt/freeware/bin/ncurses*-config*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 18 Sep 11 14:56 /opt/freeware/bin/ncurses6-config -> ncurses6-config_64
    $ rpm -q ncurses ncurses-devel
    ncurses-6.2-1.ppc
    ncurses-devel-6.2-1.ppc
    $

    Thanks.

    Please include the *.pc files for nurses in /opt/freeware/lib/pkgconfig/ and /opt/freeware/lib64/pkgconfig/ as well.

    Thank you Ayappan and Reshma for fixing this so quickly.

    I think I like not having stuff in /usr; although, I have to get used to creating the appropriate symlinks or wrappers in /usr/bin, but it gives me control over which ones and how they are called.  Advanced users and developers can always put /opt/freeware/bin in their paths.
