    Hi Benny,

    On 2024-07-22 23:24:50, you wrote to me:

    It's a link problem, because it doesn't link to the right library
    file.

    could this be a prefix problem ?, if it compiles and installed it
    would on gentoo be with prefix of /usr/local, while all ebuilds is in /usr, is linker libs search only in /usr/local/lib64 or both /usr/local/lib64 and /usr/lib64 in that order ?

    I don't know about gentoo, but cmake should take care automatically of such issues. Was there anything in the cmake output?
    Maybe cmake isn't configured right?

    what are your own output from linked elfs from fmail ftools fconfig ?, this will revail where ncurses is installed, next i think og is what

    (Only fconfig uses ncurses)

    # ldd fconfig
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffef25f1000)
    libncurses.so.5 => /lib64/libncurses.so.5 (0x00007f861bac3000)
    libtinfo.so.5 => /lib64/libtinfo.so.5 (0x00007f861b88f000)
    libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f861b50a000)
    libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f861b209000)
    libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f861aff2000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f861ac49000)
    libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f861aa45000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00005650bea44000)

    ncurses version have you ?

    But I also tested on a newer system with this ncurses version:

    my /usr/local/lib64 is empty, so here only libs installed from
    emerges, maybe i just need to install ncurses as non root user, just
    like fmail is ?, will it make sense ?

    I don't think so...


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Hi Benny,

    I could try, if it's not too much work to familiarize myself with
    gentoo...

    https://paste.xinu.at/6u4lw/

    this solves gentoo compile of fmail, add this patch to sources

    I'll test it on my systems first!

    i will make a gentoo ebuild later

    Thanks! How many gentoo fido users are there? Maybe just 1 ? ;-)
