Try to install the library: libncursesw5-dev

Thanks, text mode is now working after installing libncursesw5-dev.
I'm still wondering why DF needs the (static library?)-stuff out of -dev, where previously the normal shared libncursesw5 was enough.

Hey Baughn, I'm not sure this differs substantially from 0002056 but you may want to take a look.

It shouldn't need -dev, actually.

I wonder why. Any chance you could attach the output of dpkg -L for the two packages?

On my ubuntu system, the base package provides libncursesw.so.5 (which is the name that everything is linked against); the -dev package adds a symlink from libncursesw.so to libncursesw.so.5 (presumably so "-lncursesw" does the right thing)

DF is dlopen()ing "libncursesw.so", which is going to fail without the symlink from -dev.

I see. I'd like to say "the symlink is /in the wrong package/", but..

Right. I'll make sure to check both.
