A few questions

[srose34]

Hi
I have a few questions on Redhat Scientific Linux.

The first is that I installed Haskell GHCi. In Terminal I type ghci to start the interpreter but I get the following error:

/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.10.4/ghc: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Also, is it possible to get the keyboard to map out the same as in Windows so I press Shift and 2 for example it will print inverted commas?

Thanks

Problem 1: You need to install libtinfo. Try,

sudo yum search libtinfo

Problem 2: You need to change your keyboard layout to "UK English". Should be somewhere in "System/Settings" (or something similar). Google is your friend.....

Hi
For problem 1 it returned an error saying No Matches Found

Try

sudo yum install ncurses-libs

[srose34]

Hi
That came back saying:

No package ncurses-libs available.
Nothing to do

[smolloy]

Damn. Sorry about this. Try,

yum search ncurses
yum search libtinfo

Hi
Sorry for double posting but can anyone help with this? I need this for a university assignment. Is there no place I can just download this single file and place it in the folder myself?
