And I have panelw
$ locate libpanelw /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpanelw.so.5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpanelw.so.5.9
And created symbolic link
$ ll /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpanelw* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Jan 19 15:14 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpanelw.so -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpanelw.so.5
Any reasons this would happen?
So it works now? That missing link would appear to be a bug of your distribution's package.
Nope even adding this link does not make it work :(
I am on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and latest greatest packages and was trying to build latest lib and utils from git
Btw if it do ./gitcompile --with-curses=ncurses --disable-xmlto it works fine
This does not uses libpanelw but libpanel (which apparently exists). (w = wide-character support for non-ASCII locales)
Thanks for explanation, this is the only way it worked for me
