Encountering "Error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5:" for the /mesa version and in a similar fashion I'm getting "error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1:" on the version without mesa on my RHEL 9 workstation. I have checked to make sure mesa graphics libraries are installed. |

Initial googling results, it appears libtinfo is supplied by the ncurses-lib packages and RHEL9 uses version 6. Another option might be to try a different binary version of VisIt. Which VisIt binary did you install? The RHEL7 version? |

Yes, RHEL7. Perhaps Fedora? or Ubuntu? |

As for the libGLU.so error, does it exist on your system? If it is in a non-standard location, you may need to point LD_LIBRARY_PATH to it's location before running VisIt. |

Perhaps there is a way to install (safely) the version 5 of ncurses ?
