Stata 16 on RHEL 8

[Francois Laliberte]

I'm trying to install Stata16 MP on RHEL 8. I'm getting this error :

 ./stata: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I have libtinfo.so.6 installed and via the official repo I install a compat-libs and now when I type

ldconfig -p | grep libtinfo.so.5

I get

libtinfo.so.5 (libc6) => /lib/libtinfo.so.5

. But I still get the same error code about libtinfo.so.5 missing.

Any idea?

Francois,

At a prompt type:

sudo yum install ncurses-compat-libs

-Pete

It worked. Thanks
