I’m trying to install the ncmpccp media player, but it’s looking for libtinfo.so.6 (part of the GLIB library), which is apparently not present on my system. I DO have the latest glib library according to zypper, but ncmpccp is correct: libtinfo.so.6 is not in my /lib64/ directory. If my glib package is fully updated (or my package manager “thinks” it’s updated), then how am I supposed to get this library?
Here’s the error I get when I launch ncmpccp:
$ ncmpcpp
ncmpcpp: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Where are you installing from? I just installed it on my x64 system, and
it doesn’t seem to think libtinfo.so.6 is a required dependency.

Same version I’m using.

Try:
zypper se -s ncmpcpp
That’ll list all versions available and you should be able to see which
one’s installed - and it will indicate which repo you’ve installed from.
S | Name | Type | Version | Arch | Repository
--+---------------------+------------+------------+--------+-------------------
i | ncmpcpp | package | 0.5.6-2.15 | x86_64 | packman
Should I remove it and try a different version? If so, how would I specify which one to download in Zypper? (Sorry, new to SuSE and its package mangement)
Also, you might grab the output from:
zypper lr
Alright (I appreciate the speedy assistance, by the way!):

When I install from Packman, I’m getting version 0.5.6-2.5 currently.
Are you sure you’re pointing at the 12.1 repo from Packman and not the
11.4 repo?
Shouldn’t be necessary to compile anything to get it running - but you do
need to have mpd installed as well (that’s not listed as a dependency,
but it is apparently required).
Are you sure you’re pointing at the 12.1 repo from Packman and not the
11.4 repo?
Ah, there’s our problem! I added the wrong repository to the wiki. Removed the old repo, added the 12.1 repo, removed ncmpcpp, and then did zypper in ncmpcpp. All is well now. Thanks a lot, Jim!
