Ncurses Library On

How do I write a simple hello world program using the ncurses and compile it on a Linux? GNU ncurses is software API for controlling writing to the console screen under Unix, Linux and other operating systems. You can create text-based user interfaces (TUI) on a Linux or Unix-like system using ncurses library. The Ncurses (new curses) library is a free software emulation of curses in System V Release 4.0, and more. Ncurses uses Terminfo format, supports pads and color and multiple highlights and forms characters and function-key mapping, and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD Curses. The ncurses library provides a rich set of functions to update and access the screen in text mode. While graphical user interfaces are very cool, not every program needs to run with a point-and-click interface. If your program runs in plain-text terminals, consider using ncurses to manipulate the terminal screen. NCURSES is a clone of the original System V Release 4.0 (SVr4) curses. It is a freely distributable library, fully compatible with older version of curses. In short, it is a library of functions that manages an application's display on character-cell terminals. In the remainder of the document, the terms curses and ncurses are used interchangeably. The ncurses library is intended to be base-level conformant with the XSI Curses standard from X/Open. Mac pro 1.1 el capitan install. Many extended-level features (in fact, almost all features not directly concerned with wide characters and internationalization) are also supported.

Applies to:

Big Data Appliance Integrated Software - Version 4.2.0 and later
Linux x86-64

Goal

The library required for Autosys installation is missing on the BDA. For example, the following is seen:

[root@<HOSTNAME1> Linux]# ./setup
32 bit ncurses library is not installed.
Reason: On a 64 bit system the 32 bit library libncurses is necessary.
Action: Please install the ncurses 32 bit package with version >= 5.

When checking the BDA cluster from node 1 the following is found for example on cluster with Mammoth 4.2.0 the following 64-bit libraries exist:
