[Clfs-dev] 10.17 ncurses

I am hoping someone will put me out of my misery here :(

I have restarted my current build of Pure64 several times lately and keep getting stuck here.

My issue is that every time I install ncurses (and to let you know I have resorted to copy and pasting directly from the web site into my terminal) the installed programs seem to be linking incorrectly.

I know I have probably missed something simple, as I have been past this stage before, but for the life of me I cannot find where.

So my test to tell me i am doing something wrong is the following:

1. Complete install of ncurses (this includes both with all extra move after make install and without)

2. Run /usr/bin/clear, which is installed by ncurses

output:

clear: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

3. Run find / -name libncursesw.so.5

output:

/lib/libncursesw.so.5

4. Test linkages - ldd /usr/bin/clear

output:

    linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffff6b8b000)
    libncursesw.so.5 => not found
    libc.so.6 => /tools/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f0ee4a02000)
    /tools/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f0ee4d60000)

As you can see it is linking against /tools/<blah> and yet both libc.so.6 and ld-linux-x86x64.so.2 exist in /lib

My only deviation from the rest of CLFS Pure64 is to install glibc instead of eglibc. Can't see why this would cause issues?? And on testing other applications in the Chapter 10 section they all seemed to be linked ok.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

cheers grail
