For the lazy, you can also install ncurses5-compat-libs package from my personal repository.

This PKGBUILD verifies the authenticity of the source via PGP signatures which are not part of the Arch Linux keyring. In order to complete the process it is necessary to import the key(s) from the ‘validpgpkeys’ array into the user’s keyring before calling makepkg. There is a helpful article explaining this process by one of Arch Linux's developers located here: http://allanmcrae.com/2015/01/two-pgp-keyrings-for-package-management-in-arch-linux/

Instructions on importing keys from a keyserver and how to automate the retrieval process can be found in the Arch Linux wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#Use_a_keyserver This article also contains helpful information describing the installation of GnuPG, its configuration and usage.

Execute the following to import keys using gpg:

gpg --recv-keys <KEYID - See 'validpgpkeys' array in PKGBUILD>

The PGP signature check can be skipped by passing --skippgpcheck to makepkg.

Consult the makepkg manual page for a full list of options. [https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/makepkg.8.html]

I actually disabled installation of pkgconfig files. The package is supposed to provide just the libraries anyway.

Added to PKGBUILD, although I never encountered this issue.

If you are a receiving an error about /share already being in the file system, I was able to fix this by add this flag to the ./configure line in the PKGBUILD: --with-pkg-config-libdir=/usr/share For some reason this seems to be necessary even though --prefix=/usr is already specified in the PKGBUILD.

On a fresh install, installation fails due to files already in the filesystem (and owned by ncurses 6).

I made as the comment below but the correct key is: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys C52048C0C0748FEE227D47A2702353E0F7E48EDB After that it worked

I've adapted @thestinger's idea and made more changes. libtinfo.so.5 should point to libncurses.so.5 but not libncurses.so.6. Here's the modified PKGBUILD: # Maintainer: Alexej Magura <sickhadas.nix*gmail*> # # pkgname=libtinfo-5 pkgver=5 pkgrel=10 pkgdesc="symlink to ncurses for use in cuda and other packages (legacy)" arch=('any') url="http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/" license=('unknown') depends=('ncurses5-compat-libs') package() { install -Dm755 -d "$pkgdir"/usr/lib ln -s /usr/lib/libncurses.so.$pkgver -T "$pkgdir"/usr/lib/libtinfo.so.$pkgver }

For the ones with PGP error, run the following procedure: pacman-key --init pacman-key --populate archlinux dirmngr < /dev/null pacman-key --refresh-keys And, add key: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 702353E0F7E48EDB gpg --lsign 702353E0F7E48EDB After this, package build without error. Tested on fresh Arch Linux install.

I keep getting this error: checking for gpm.h... yes checking for Gpm_Open in -lgpm... no configure: error: Cannot link with GPM library I have the package gpm installed. Any Idea what's the problem?

Leind commented on 2016-01-29 17:17 (UTC)

For the ones with PGP error, run the following: > sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys > gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys C52048C0C0748FEE227D47A2702353E0F7E48EDB
