Very Computer

I recently installed the ncurses package off of sunfreeware.com for Sol8
x86, but now vi won't work.  Tried installing vim off sunfreeware, core
dumps when I try to run it.  So now I am back to wanting to fix vi...

Quote:> $ vi
> ld.so.1: vi: fatal: relocation error: file vi: symbol resetterm: referenced symbol not found
> Killed

I've been thinking along the lines of all the new packages have
installed into /usr/local/lib and so on instead of /usr/lib might have
something to do with it, but copying the libraries over to where my
/usr/lib and /usr/include directories are identical to my /usr/local/lib
and /usr/local/include directories has not seemed to work.  Scoured the
net, this doesn't seem to be a popular problem...

I'm figuring it is ncurses and curses since the resetterm symbol should
be in those libraries, but I may be looking at the wrong thing...

Any help, much appreciated.

Sounds like you either overwrote the Solaris curses library, or you
have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set.

If you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set in your environment, unset it;
it should not normally be set.

To see if the curses library is OK, run:  pkgchk SUNWcsl

Thanks, my SUNWcsl package indeed was off and it seems the ncurses
package is not a substitute.  After reinstalling the SUNWcsl package off
the CD, everything seems to work fine.  Now to test whatever program I
had installed ncurses for...

Remove /usr/ucblib from LD_LIBRARY_PATH
