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

I've installed Android Studio and tried to run my first project in it, and I've got following error:

Error Output was: /home/user/android-studio/sdk/platform-tools/adb: error while loading       shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've already tried to run

sudo ldconfig

but it doesnt help. I've recently installed libncurses (before using android studio).

What should I do?

If libncurses is not installed then install it and try again.

for 32-bit binaries : sudo apt-get install libncurses5:i386

for 64-bit binaries : sudo apt-get install libncurses5

Also install the collection of libraries by using this command,

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5

If you see this, your distro probably has a newer version of libncurse installed. First find out what version of libncurses your distro has:

$ ls -1 /usr/lib/libncurses*
/usr/lib/libncurses.so
/usr/lib/libncurses++.so
/usr/lib/libncurses++w.so
/usr/lib/libncursesw.so
/usr/lib/libncurses++w.so.6
/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6
/usr/lib/libncurses++w.so.6.0
/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.0

In this case, we are dealing with version 6, so we make two symlinks:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.0 /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.6.0 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5

After this, the program should run normally.
