This means that the program linker was able to find libncurses.so.5 at build time, but that the dynamic linker is not able to find libncurses.so.5 at run time. There is nothing to complain about at build time. Basically, this means that your program linker and dynamic linker are using different search paths. You may find it useful to read the documentation of the -rpath and -rpath-link options in the linker manual. Ian
