I wanted to use the Linux version of PerformanceTest in Xubuntu 24.04 but I was getting the following error:
error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It is looking for libncurses5 but 24.04 has libncurses6. The solution is pretty simple. Just add a symlink like this:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.6 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5
I would imagine this will work in Ubuntu and other flavours but I haven’t tested that so your mileage may vary.
