infocmp: symbol lookup error

[Tedi Heriyanto <tedi.heriyanto () gmail com>]

Dear all,

I am currently learning the Metasploit framework.

When I start the framework using msfconsole, I got the following error messages :


# msfconsole

 ____________
< metasploit >
 ------------
       \   ,__,
        \  (oo)____
           (__)    )\
              ||--|| *


       =[ metasploit v3.3.3-dev [core:3.3 api:1.0]
+ -- --=[ 467 exploits - 218 auxiliary
+ -- --=[ 192 payloads - 22 encoders - 8 nops
       =[ svn r7821 updated today (2009.12.11)

infocmp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libtic.so.5: undefined symbol:
_nc_free_tinfo
infocmp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libtic.so.5: undefined symbol:

_nc_free_tinfo
infocmp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libtic.so.5: undefined symbol:

msf >

I did several trials to fix this error. I figured out that by commenting the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH export statement in the /opt/metasploit3/run.sh script, the
msfconsole will not emit error messages :

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${BASE}/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

to

#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${BASE}/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I would like to know whether this is a correct fix. Will this fix have a side
effect ?


PS :
I am using openSUSE 11.x and here are several ncurses packages installed on my
system :

libncurses5-32bit-5.6-89.10
ncurses-devel-5.6-89.16
libncurses6-5.6-89.16
ncurses-utils-5.6-89.16
libncurses5-5.6-89.16

Thanks in advance
