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]

  • Worked perfectly on fisrt try.
1. Open the latest GPG key from here - http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Thomas+Dickey&op=index
2. Copy form "-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----" to "-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----" in a new text file and rename it thomas_dickey.key
3. gpg --import thomas_dickey.key

please add "ncurses5-compat-libs" or note after the installation :D

This packages does not build. The linker fails with a missing symbol. I do not fully understand what happened, but looking at the PKGBUILD in core I managed to fix it by adding --with-termlib=tinfo --with-ticlib=tic on the ./configure command line, and removing the symlink to libtinfo.so.5 (because it already exists) from package().

Thx it works now.

Hello guys, I was able to install the package following the tip of this link https://forum.manjaro.org/t/error-trying-to-install-ncurses/19354/2 run the following command: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 702353E0F7E48EDB after: yaourt -S ncurses5-compat-libs

bhimberg commented on 2017-09-06 11:35 (UTC)

This may help some, please comment/correct if I missed something. For whatever reason, my .gnupg directory was not quite right. I would get an error: $ gpg --recv-keys C52048C0C0748FEE227D47A2702353E0F7E48EDB gpg: keyserver receive failed: Cannot assign requested address I moved my $HOME/.gnupg directory to .gnupg.bak and ran the following: dirmngr --debug-level guru This recreated the .gnupg directory and fixed whatever was causing 'Cannot assign requested address'. I think it may be related to useradd or something along those lines: root was able to import keys fine, just not this particular user. Maybe I missed a step in the installation guide?
