Error message
error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Installing libtinfo5 fixed it. Perhaps we can update the docs?
This is documented in INSTALL.md which is in the root of the compiler repo, and is also included in the compiler binary bundles.
I see, I was reading the getting started page... maybe it can be linked there?
Yes, that's probably a good idea. I'd prefer that we statically link libtinfo in the prebuilt compiler binaries, though, so that this can't happen in the first place: purescript/purescript#3696
