[root@localhost tim]# rpm -i bsd-games-2.13-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libtinfo.so.5 is needed by bsd-games-2.13-1
Fair enough. So, I go to http://www.rpmfind.net, and a search
for libtinfo.so.5 suggests I need to install ncurses-5.2-34.i386.rpm.
However, I then do:
[root@localhost tim]# rpm -qa | grep -i curses
libncurses5-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk
libncurses5-devel-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk
ncurses-5.3-1.20030215.1mdk
which suggests that I have a lter version of ncurses installed. How do I
sort that out then?
cheers,
Tim.
