Missing dynamic library dependency when calling vhalt about netkit-ng-core

[kartoch]

@bingel74 Could you comment about how to reproduce it (commands, labs, etc.) and information about the host OS ?

[bingel74]

OS: Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 (updated)

Soon after having run configuration as described in installation instructions and soon after having checked the configuration through the appropriate script "check_configuration.sh", I have performed the the first working test. I have started a virtual machine with the command

"vstart pc1"

and virtual machine started correctly then I have given command

"vlist"

and it returned correct output but when, on the host machine console, I typed the command

"vhalt -r pc1"

I obtained this output error:

"vhalt: could not shut down virtual machine "pc1"".

So, to stop virtual machine, I had to type "shutdown -hP now" inside virtual machine console.

I can reproduce the bug.

uml_mconsole requires libtinfo.so.5 to run, but it is not available on my archlinux or probably @bingel74 ubuntu. The missing library seems related to a library split in ncurses. I probably need to take some time to compile uml_tools with static flag to avoid such dependency problems in the future.

Temporary fix:

linux:~> cd /lib
linux:/lib> sudo ln -s libncurses.so.5.9 libtinfo.so.5
