Hi I had got a problem that I can ' t solve when compiling the Android source for ICS. The build gets to a certain stage and then I get the message: /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../libtinfo.so when searching for -ltinfo/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6.1/../../../libtinfo.a when searching for -ltinfo/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libtinfo.so when searching for -ltinfo/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libtinfo.a when searching for -ltinfo/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltinfocollect2: ld returned 1 exit statusmake: *** [out/host/linux-x86/obj/EXECUTABLES/adb_intermediates/adb] Error 1make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... I have tried updating/installing Libncurses5-dev and Libtinfo-dev which were both latest versions and am a bit stuck now. How can I get rid of this to allow the build to happen properly?

It got fixed with installation of Lib32ncurses5-dev and its dependencies which includes Lib32tinfo5-dev. The compiled host ADB executable with Android is a 32-bit executable. answered  Feb 3 ' at 13:10 vimalesh 361 shareimprove this answer

I got this issue while I am building MySQL statically. So I had to install the static versions of these libraries. For example I do run: yum search ncurses Then I installed, yum install ncurses-static # not exactly the same syntax, but something similar; see searc
