Hello, From archlinux (zsh shell with features), command: find /usr -name "libncurses.so*" show that i have libncurses installed but zef is not happy because an other request is to also have a bigger libncurses (error from zef)

then i do: la /usr/lib/libncurses* and see that libncurses.so is not a symbolic link, but the real lib is libncursesw.so.6.0 content of libncurses.so is: INPUT(-lncursesw)

so actually, this module can not be installed on archlinux without break my archlinux organisation (and my packager will not be happy with that...).

NCurses do things the way it can not be used by all OS Linux.

export PERL6_NCURSES_LIB=/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.0 then add this line in /etc/profile and also in ~/.zshrc do the job and resolve the problem (but this thread post should not be close).

Sorry for the delay on this one. Fixed in https://github.com/azawawi/perl6-ncurses/commit/df419a83ce9ab79c05750fc0074cc139a128ccb8. Tested it on Manjaro Linux 17 (which is an ArchLinux derivative).

Thanks for reporting this bug 👍
