cannot get rid of error “/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses”

Question

I wanted to run the command:

repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-4.1.1_r6

and got the following output:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/anu/bin/repo", line 91, in <module> import readline ImportError: No module named readline

So to fix the above, I tried to install readline using commands pip install readline and easy_install readline , but both the commands outputs the following:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I have ubuntu 12.04 with python 2.7.3 and want to build android source code.

I searched a lot to fix it but no success... Can anybody point to me what I am missing?

Answer 1

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

然后重新运行命令

Answer 2

If you are running an 64 bit OS, you might have to install the i386 versions of the libraries. A lot (all?) of the Android host commands are 32-bit only.

Answer 3

我通过安装python 2.7解决了上述问题.Guess repo适用于以前版本的python而不是当前版本2.7.3。
