problem installing foma on Ubuntu 20.04.2
leoalenc opened this issue · comments
Hi! I've tried to run the pre-combiled Foma binary on my Ubuntu system, but I got the following error message:
foma: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
My system doesn't have libtermcap.so.2 in the /lib directory.
I've also run the following command:
sudo apt install foma
Although no error was reported, the same error message was displayed when executing the command foma.
Finally, I've tried to compile foma from source, running:
sudo make; make install
It was reported that -ltermcap was not found.
Foma is a great tool! I've used it on my mac systems as well as on older linux systems for years. So I would appreciate any hints on how to install it on Ubuntu 20.04.2.
pls try to install libncurses-dev
pls try to install
libncurses-dev
@AmbientLighter, thanks! I followed your suggestion and this time I could successfully install foma from source.
Since the problem was solved, I'm closing the issue.
