libncursesw5 issue in ifl setup script

Post by rustleg »

Trying to create IFL stick using Linux Mint 19 (because Makedisk failed in Windows for some unknown reason). When running ./setup it complained "Required package libncursesw5 (32-bit) not installed". But Synaptic says it is installed, version 6.1-1ubuntu1.18.04.

I used Mint to install IFL a year or so ago, but this was probably Mint 17. Maybe there's something preventing this in Mint 19 (based on Ubuntu 18.04)?

It should work if installed. Are you sure it's the correct lib?

Install the libs from the following KB article first before running the setup script:
