[SOLVED]Wine issue ncursesw.so.5

koste · 2015-09-26 13:03:55

So when i run an application I have developed in Mono, which has to use some kind of webclient in wine I get this.

Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncursesw.so.5).
fixme:ole:RemUnknown_QueryInterface No interface for iid {00000019-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}
protocol "IP" not found; You might want to add this to /etc/protocols

I have already installed Wine AND all it's optional packages.
What I get is that ncursesw.so.5 is in lib32-ncurses, which is installed. And everything has already been uninstalled (using -Rcsn) once and reinstalled.
I have also run done tried updating the entire system(-Syu)

[koste@archie ~]$ pacman -Qs ncurses
local/lib32-ncurses 6.0-2
    System V Release 4.0 curses emulation library (32-bit)
local/ncurses 6.0-3
    System V Release 4.0 curses emulation library
[koste@archie ~]$ pacman -Qs wine
local/wine 1.7.51-1
    A compatibility layer for running Windows programs
local/wine-mono 4.5.6-1
    Wine's built-in replacement for Microsoft's .NET Framework
local/wine_gecko 2.40-1
    Wine's built-in replacement for Microsoft's Internet Explorer
local/winetricks 20150706-1
    Script to install various redistributable runtime libraries in Wine.

Wine version

wine-1.7.51

[EDIT] So i located my libcurses library. And could it be that mono is looking for an outdated libncursesw.so.5 file. Because I have a libncursesw.so.6 file?

To get libncursesw.so.5 install https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/ncu … mpat-libs/ from AUR.

That is what I wanted to do, But then i would have to replace gcc, which is not something I am sure I want to do.

Anyway my temporary solution as for now is to make a symbolic link between libncursesw.so.6 and libncursesw.so.5. However THIS IS NOT the optimal solution. Anyone who comes across this thread do what anatolik said.

Also I refer you to this thread.

DO NOT DO IT! Just install the AUR package I mentioned above. This is *the* optimal solution, I am telling you as an Arch developer.

I do not know what exactly post you are referring to but the advise with symlinks is *bad*.

Why do you think you have to replace gcc? Where are you getting that from?

When I try to lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs it says that gcc-multilib and gcc are in conflict and then asks me if I want to remove gcc.

It does not remove it, it replaces gcc with its multilib version. gcc-multilib the same gcc plus some 32-bit specific libraries.

Okay. I misunderstood it then. I thought it would be replaced with a 32bit gcc.
