It seems there were too many dependencies to remove, so I did a

reinstall, but that didn't seem to help, and it gave the same warning

that ldconfig did when it reinstalled.

That's what I suspected.  I don't think that is right.  I would uninstall both packages, make sure those files are gone and reinstall.

/usr/lib/libcurses.so seems to be a link to /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.5.5

Do
ls -l /usr/lib64/*curse*
and see what the real files are, what are soft links, etc.

It said:

/sbin/ldconfig: libraries libcurses.so and libncurses.so.5.5 in directory /usr/lib have same soname but different type.

Hi Patrick,

try running ldconfig (as root), that might help fix missing softlink etc.
and then rebuild as normal

I'm not sure. I see the path to /usr/lib64 being used by make, so I'm
confused why it wouldn't find it there.

Then maybe your /usr/lib(64) is not included in the LIB variable. It
happened to me before, when I was compiling EDM on a 64bit ubuntu
using GCC 4.3.3, it can't find libXm, blahblah. Well, since that's not
my laptop and I'm not supposed to jeopardize the system environment, I
just make some symbolic links to /base/lib so it can move on to the
next step. I'm not sure if this message could be helpful.

There is a copy there as well.

I think that is the 32-bit version, and you need the 64-bit version,
which
will be in usr/lib64

I think it is installed, there is a libncurses.so.5 file in /usr/lib.

Install ncurses library by yourself.

Thank you, that seems to have worked. However, now it errors on
'cannot
find
-lncurses' for g++ -o alh.

This is a common change required in 3.14.11.
You need to "#include menuYesNo.h" and YES needs to be changed to
menuYesNoYES.

Hi,

I was wondering, I get a compile error on force.c when running
make on
the alarm handler with epics-3-14-11, on 64 bit linux:
