error when building geomatic plugin

[SalemTree]

OS: Ubuntu 21.10
Sofa source: 22.06.99 master branch

I'm trying to use Geomagic Touch haptic device in sofa so I did in-tree building for geomatic plugin, the in-tree building with ninja was sucessful, and i can find the libGeomagic.so file in the sofa/build/lib folder.
However when I tried to add the geomagic plugin in sofa plugin manager, it displays following error message

How could i add this plugin properly?

Hi @SalemTree

I will write what appears from your image: the libncurses.so is sought by the libGeomagic.
Have you tried to install it? (something like sudo apt install libncurses-dev)

Hi @hugtalbot
Yes, I tried sudo apt install libncurses-dev and it says I already have it installed.
I also checked the files in sofa/build/lib and there isnt any plugin named libncurses.so. Did I miss something during the building?

Could you check where libGeomagic is looking for the libncurses.so ?

How could I check where it is looking for? Following is the exact error message when I try to load geomagic in sofa plugin manager:

[ERROR] [PluginManager] Plugin loading failed (/home/min/sofa/build/lib/libGeomagic.so): libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It looks like it's looking for a libncurses.so.5 file but cannot find it. I'm no sure where it's supposed to be.

I figured it out. A library named libncurses5 is required for geomagic plugin, here is how I installed it:

sudo apt install apt-file
sudo apt-file update
sudo apt-file find libncurses.so.5
sudo apt install libncurses5
