[Solved] ncurses5-compat-libs installation issue

Hello,

I'm trying to install ncurses5-compat-libs from the AUR. The compilation runs smoothly, but as soon as I try to install it with

# pacman -U 

I got this:

ncurses5-compat-libs: /lib exists in filesystem
ncurses5-compat-libs: /lib/pkgconfig/formw.pc exists in filesystem
ncurses5-compat-libs: /lib/pkgconfig/menuw.pc exists in filesystem
ncurses5-compat-libs: /lib/pkgconfig/ncurses++w.pc exists in filesystem
ncurses5-compat-libs: /lib/pkgconfig/ncursesw.pc exists in filesystem
ncurses5-compat-libs: /lib/pkgconfig/panelw.pc exists in filesystem

Problem is that this package is supposed to install nothing into /lib. Thanks to an other IRC channel user, i found out that for him the installation runs ok, and this is his (correct) list of installation files paths:

pacman -Qlp ncurses5-compat-libs-6.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

We used the same PKGBUILD and all. Notice that in my list some files are prefixed with /lib/ instead of /usr/share/

Thanks!

Re: [Solved] ncurses5-compat-libs installation issue

It works fine for me, it's got to be something on your system. Try building it in a clean chroot.

If you really want to track it down, start with your environmental variables.

Re: [Solved] ncurses5-compat-libs installation issue

Hello Scimmia,
I followed your advice and followed the wiki in order to build the package within a clean chroot. this is the result (which is the expected and correct one)

pacman -Qlp ncurses5-compat-libs-6.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/bin/
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/bin/ncursesw5-config
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libform.so.5
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libformw.a
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libformw.so.5
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libformw.so.5.9
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libmenu.so.5
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libmenuw.a
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libmenuw.so.5
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libmenuw.so.5.9
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libncurses++.so.5
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libncurses++w.a
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libncurses++w.so.5

ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libncursesw.a
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.5
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.5.9
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libpanel.so.5
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/lib/libpanelw.a

ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/share/licenses/
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/share/licenses/ncurses5-compat-libs/
ncurses5-compat-libs /usr/share/licenses/ncurses5-compat-libs/LICENSE

This I suppose to be the list of env vars:

env                                                                                                                                                                                        :(

Re: [Solved] ncurses5-compat-libs installation issue

Hmm, I don't see anything there that should cause a problem, unless there's something in that PATH that's interfering.

Re: [Solved] ncurses5-compat-libs installation issue

I will try with a brand new user then, as soon as I get home.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: [Solved] ncurses5-compat-libs installation issue

Well, after e reboot it worked properly. NO idea about what happened, and it sounds like a MS-ish solution.
Even though I don't like how this has been solved, it is solved nonetheless.

Cheers

Re: [Solved] ncurses5-compat-libs installation issue

Hi @Jack_CM, I have the same problem, as you resolved your error?
