The SQream SQL Installation Related Issues page describes how to resolve SQream SQL installation related issues.

Upon running sqream sql for the first time, you may get an error error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

Solving this error requires installing the ncruses or libtinfo libraries, depending on your operating system.

• Ubuntu:

  1. Install libtinfo:

     $ sudo apt-get install -y libtinfo

  2. Depending on your Ubuntu version, you may need to create a symbolic link to the newer libtinfo that was installed.

     For example, if libtinfo was installed as /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.6.2:

     $ sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.6.2 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5

• CentOS / RHEL:

  1. Install ncurses:

     $ sudo yum install -y ncurses-libs

  2. Depending on your RHEL version, you may need to create a symbolic link to the newer libtinfo that was installed.

     For example, if libtinfo was installed as /usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.6:

     $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.6 /usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.5
