[SunHELP] OpenWin and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[Richard Skelton]

Hi,
The program "ssh-askpass" can't find the lib libncurses.so.4. you can check this 
:-
# ldd {Pathe to prog}/ssh-askpass 
You then need to find the ncurses lib and make sure you have version 4, then add 
the path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH or better still recompile "ssh-askpass" with correct 
flags ( -R [path to lib} )
