clang: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm building a substratum theme from https://github.com/substratum/template

I'm getting the following errors on run:

Build command failed.
Error while executing process /home/anubhav/Android/Sdk/ndk-bundle/ndk-build with arguments {NDK_PROJECT_PATH=null APP_BUILD_SCRIPT=/home/anubhav/AndroidStudioProjects/template/app/src/main/jni/Android.mk APP_ABI=armeabi-v7a NDK_ALL_ABIS=armeabi-v7a NDK_DEBUG=1 APP_PLATFORM=android-24 NDK_OUT=/home/anubhav/AndroidStudioProjects/template/app/build/intermediates/ndkBuild/debug/obj NDK_LIBS_OUT=/home/anubhav/AndroidStudioProjects/template/app/build/intermediates/ndkBuild/debug/lib /home/anubhav/AndroidStudioProjects/template/app/build/intermediates/ndkBuild/debug/obj/local/armeabi-v7a/libLoadingProcess.so}

I'm running Android Studio 3.0.1 on Manjaro. I really don’t know what else info to provide, so please mention if anything is required.

TLDR:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources

Add these lines to the bottom (Don't know if this is 100% correct)

Types: deb
URIs: HTTP://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
Suites: lunar
Components: universe

sudo apt update

sudo apt-get install libtinfo5

My process

I got this same issue when trying to run clang++ on a new install of ubuntu24.04

But this package would not install

sudo apt install libncurses5

And neither would linking work because a specific function within libtinfo.so.5

ln -s /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5

I found this article for a completely different problem https://askubuntu.com/questions/1491254/installing-cuda-on-ubuntu-23-10-libt5info-not-installable

Which suggested this process

Open a terminal window and run:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add this line (adds the Ubuntu 23.04 aka "Lunar Lobster" universe repository to apt):

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lunar universe

Save and exit, then run:

sudo apt update

But, /etc/apt/sources.list is outdated

Go to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources instead

I then added this to the file

Types: deb
URIs: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
Suites: lunar
Components: universe

Then I apt update try to install libtinfo5 directly and it worked

sudo apt-get install libtinfo5

I had the same problem on Debian Buster. Installing the Debian package libncurses5 solved it for me:

$ sudo apt install libncurses5

libtinfo is not an Android API. You need to build that library for Android and include it in your APK.
