 |
|
Hi guys Im trying to run cydiaimpactor http://www.cydiaimpactor.com on a stable amd64 system
When I try to run the file from the terminal im told:
| Code: | ~/impactor $ ./Impactor
./Impactor: error while loading shared libraries: /lib64/libncurses.so.5: file too short |
Here is my ncurses info
| Code: | emerge -av ncurses
Password:
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1:0/6::gentoo USE="cxx unicode -ada -debug -doc -gpm -minimal -profile -static-libs {-test} -threads -tinfo -trace" ABI_X86="32 (64) (-x32)" 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB |
Im confused and looking for a fix because I need to jailbreak my phone

Sucks when you have to use binary-only software, doesn't it?
ncurses5 got deprecated and that binary requires ncurses5.
I don't know about the compatibility of the ncurses5 and ncurses6 ABI as I've had trouble with this recently. You might have to build the ncurses5 binary and use that in a chroot, or run this whole package in a VM...

| Thanks for the reply.I suppose with binary packages they can't make every distro work.I was thinking of going down the VM route if there wasn't a fix because it's not something I'll need to open very often. |

ncurses are slotted (version 5 and 6 can coexist) try to install version 5 with command
| Code: | | # emerge sys-libs/ncurses:5/5 |

Strange, I don't know why it was such a PITA to upgrade ncurses5 to ncurses6 if it was perfectly slotted. Perhaps there was a bad version of the ebuild when I ncurses6 stabilized... Urk.
Oh well, good thing it's fixed now.

After successfully jailbreaking my iphone I decided I would make a follow up post for anybody else wanting to use cydiaimpactor to jailbreak an iphone on gentoo:
To make cydiaimpactor run, besides needing to | Code: | | # emerge sys-libs/ncurses:5/5 |
(thank you to fedeliallalinea) I also needed to
| Code: | | emerge sys-libs/libudev-compat |
Then I could not drag the ipa onto the program until I followed this setup guide in the wiki
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Apple_iPod,_iPad,_iPhone
After following the steps in the above guide cydiaimpactor detected my phone and worked perfectly. |

You need to use the latest version of Cydia impactor. Download it from https://cydiaimpactor.online/.
