Can't launch project because of libncurses dependency

[KelvinNovais]

While trying to launch a project, I get the following error:

'Launching <Project Name>' has encountered a problem.
Could not determine GDB version using command: arm-none-eabi-gdb --version

Could not determine GDB version using command: arm-none-eabi-gdb --version
arm-none-eabi-gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

OS: Fedora Linux 42

STM32CubeIDE version: 1.19.0

Although libncurses.so.5 is apparently a very old package, I have "ncurses-compat-libs", which should provide compatibility with the required package version. I can find it on /usr/lib/ but not on /usr/lib64/.

Hello @KelvinNovais

It seems you are using the generic installer(amd64.sh) which don't install required libraries.

So, let's try to uninstall STM32CubeIDE 1.19.0 and then install it  using deb_bundle installer, it should install automatically all needed libraries including libncurses5.

Please try this solution, and let me know your feedback. I’ll be waiting to hear from you.

Actually no, I installed it using the rpm_bundle installer

So, let's try to uninstall STM32CubeIDE 1.19.0 and then install it  using deb_bundle installer

The deb installer won't work on Fedora. Even so, I tried; but as expected, it was unsuccessful because it tries to call dpkg instead of rpm.

So I removed all CubeIDE related installations and reinstalled the IDE using the rpm package, but the problem persists.
