libtinfo.so.5 missing, how to create? [Solved]

Hi,

I installed Atollic STM32 True Studio (binary package) on my computer. All is fine until I run a debugger session, where it says that it need libtinfo.so.5, which is not around on my system.

So I found that -tinfo flag on ncurses would do it. But it only created libtinfo.so which is some kind of text file/place holder. So hard or symlink to libtinfo.so.5 just gives me the error of invalid ELF header.
I also saw some suggestion to link to ncurses.so, but that also gave med the ELF header error.

Is there a way to make it work??

Cheers Mate!

That got me a fully working libtinfo.so.5 - exactly what I needed, now I'm up and running!

I needed sys-libs/ncurses-compat
