Error loading library #21

Open ackalker opened 8 years ago

ackalker commented 8 years ago

Using TermWin package on Arch Linux X86_64, Julia version 0.4.5, I get the following error:

julia> using TermWin

julia> ex = :( f(x) = x*x + 2x + 1 )
:(f(x) = begin  # none, line 1:
            x * x + 2x + 1
        end)

julia> tshow(ex)
ERROR: error compiling tshow: error compiling __tshow#33__: error compiling initsession: could not load library "libncurses"
libncurses: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The libncurses library does exist on my system, but /usr/lib/libncurses.so is actually a linker script:

$ cat /usr/lib/libncurses.so
INPUT(-lncursesw)

I've created a pull request with a suggested fix/workaround. Any comments are very welcome.

Yes, it's very possible that this package has issues in linux. Others have report rendering issue. I'll merge your PR. By any case your fix may also impact https://github.com/tonyhffong/TermWin.jl/issues/13, hopefully in a positive way?

Display looks fine here, thanks for merging :)
