Installer fails with below error, ======================================= Prerequisite Verification Check ------------------------------- One or more prerequisite system libraries are not installed on your computer.

For more information about the prerequisites, see your Installation Guide or check with your System Administrator. PRESS TO ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING (OK): ======================================= Installer require libncurses.5, however libncurses.6 is the version installed on RHEL 8.

Local Fix: | |
Create softlink from libncurses.so.5 to libncurses.so.6.1 (the supplied lib on RHEL 8). Also, create softlink for libtinfo (/usr/lib64/libtinfo.so.5 -> libtinfo.so.6.1) for dbaccess to work. | |
