Hello all

I need to install the older libncurses.so.4 rpm, but I am running RH 7.0 which installed 5. My question is will the older version coexist with the newer one? I have located tons of RPM's at rpmfind.com, but I'm not sure which one to use. If anyone knows the answer please help me...

Thanks,

Erico' Suave'

libncurses.so.5 will work for you, I'm guessing a program you're running says that it can't find .so.4. Solution is pretty quick actually - just make a symbolic link in the same directory like so:

cd /lib
ln -s /lib/libncurses.so.5 /lib/libncurses.so.4
