Description Bill Crawford 2001-01-01 02:48:04 UTC 
[root@localhost linus-2.4.0-test13-pre7]# info
info: Symbol `ospeed' has different size in shared object, consider
re-linking
[root@localhost linus-2.4.0-test13-pre7]# ldd /usr/bin/info
        libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40029000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4006b000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
[root@localhost linus-2.4.0-test13-pre7]# nm /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5
nm: /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5: no symbols

Not sure quite where the fault lies, but ... binary incompatability rears
its ugly head.
This may bite people with any non-distro apps linked against this library.
Is this a change in ncurses to reflect a standard API ?
Comment 1 Bill Crawford 2001-01-01 02:50:21 UTC 
Forgot package versions:

[root@localhost linus-2.4.0-test13-pre7]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5.2
ncurses-5.2-2
[root@localhost linus-2.4.0-test13-pre7]# rpm -q info
info-4.0-17
Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-01-01 10:54:13 UTC 
It was a bug in ncurses - A change without a real reason. We've reverted this
particular change in 5.2-3.
