NMON for RHEL45 WS

Hi guys,

as per subject i am setting up NMON for the above OS but it is 64-bit Linux.

I downloaded the 32-bit NMON for RHEL45 as it is the only one available for RHEL45.

However, I ran into problem with the binary file.
# ./nmon_x86_rhel45
./nmon_x86_rhel45: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

# rpm -qa | grep curse
ncurses-5.4-13

I guess I need to install the 32-bit libncurses.so.5 rpm?
Btw, where is a good source to download it?

Thanks in advance.

another option would be to create a symlink of your actual ncurses library to the one it is searching for.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I install the 32-bit libncurses found from rpm.pbone.net instead and I got a warning.
After installation, I test the nmon and it is able to work.

# rpm -i libncurses5-5.3-1.20030215.4sls.i586.rpm
warning: libncurses5-5.3-1.20030215.4sls.i586.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 67f22696
#

Can anyone advise if this warning can be ignore?

Doing what you are doing can break things. You should not install rpms for a version of OS other than the one you are using. I had told you what to do.

You are doing this wrong.

Find the version of libcurses that came with the system and create a symlink in /usr/lib
like this:

ln -s <path to the libncurses> libncurses.so.5

if you are in the /usr/lib dir which is where it belongs

Hi Mark,

Thanks, I did follow your suggestion above for the symlink.

I have also add /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH but when i do a ldd on the nmon program, it still complaint it can't find libncurses.so.5.

I did logout and relogin again and echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the path is there.

Any idea what might have gone wrong?

what did you to to create your symlink?

if you do an ll in /usr/lib do you see libncurses.so.5 as a link to libncurses.so or some other file?
Also, you do not need to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH as there is an ld.so.conf file as well as the fact that /lib and /usr/lib are default searched.

Hi Mark,

I did what you suggested earlier.

Create a symlink in /usr/lib directory and point to the 64-bit library libncurses.

# ls -l /usr/lib/libncurses*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Nov 10:50 libncurses.so.5 -> /usr/lib64/libncurses.so.5.4

I just check the /etc/ld.so.conf, it only had an include statement "include ld.so.conf.d/*.conf".
Inside this directory, there is only 2 files mysql-x86_64.conf and xorg-x11-x86_64.conf.

I think this should be the cause of not able to find the path to libncurses since no /lib and /usr/lib was mentioned?


Thanks in advance.
