Gateway daemon fails to start on 64-bit Linux

Symptom

When attempting to start the Gateway daemon on a 64-bit Linux operating system, startup might fail with the following error:

[root@myhost]# ctgstart
cicscli: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
cicscli: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5:

06/14/11 10:20:44:399 [1] CTG6765E The Gateway daemon is unable 
to load the CICS TG JNI native library DLL libctgjni.so; the
reason for the load failure is : 'ctgjni (libncurses.so.5: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)'

cicscli: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5:

Probable cause

The 32-bit ncurses-lib package is not installed on the machine.

Action

Install the 32-bit ncurses-lib Linux package for your distribution; the Gateway daemon should now start successfully.
