libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file

[gplanon]

Here's the error:

./mkinfo_linux64: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory

I tried chmod +x'ing the executable, installed clang, and I have ncurses installed. I also symlinked libcurses to libtinfo in /lib64 with no luck. Exporting TERM environment variable is discouraged and will break things, but micro does not recognize st (suckless terminal).

I see here you state this program isn't needed anymore but micro isn't automatically detecting terminfo, or still isn't understanding. I'm using a terminal called xst which is a fork of the above mentioned st but for all intents and purposes is the same. Setting terminfo to st-256color isn't working either, which is strange if micro should work with st.

The only solution that worked for me was compiling the binary myself

Same problem.

Maybe it should be rebuilt statically?

For anyone still affected by this, I forked this repository and added a release with a recompiled mkinfo for linux-x64: https://github.com/serebit/mkinfo/releases/tag/v1.1

Deleting that fork, so here's the recompiled binary.
mkinfo_linux64.tar.gz

Or rewrite it in Go. =)
