cuda-gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file

项目场景：Linux(Ubuntu)系统使用cuda-gdb调试

---

问题描述：cuda-gdb无法启动，出现库文件无法找到的错误，在网上找了很多文章都无法顺利解决该问题。。。

username:~$ cuda-gdb
cuda-gdb: error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

---

原因分析：在尝试了大量文章介绍的方法无果后，我一度想要放弃。。。直到我尝试了下面这篇文章的第4条方法才终于成功了 error while loading shared libraries: xxx.so.x"错误的原因和解决办法 。看来这个问题主要是由于cuda-gdb程序需要的库文件比系统目前存在的文件版本低。

---

解决方案：首先要找到所需文件的正确位置，然后建立软链接。我根据这篇文章（解决cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory）介绍的ldd命令，先查看cuda-gdb的库依赖关系，如下：

username:/usr/local/cuda-11.0/bin$ ldd cuda-gdb
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fffa59f6000)
	libtinfo.so.5 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 (0x00007fe666a43000)
	libncursesw.so.5 => not found
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fe666a3d000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007fe6668ee000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fe6668cb000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fe6666d9000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fe666a89000)

发现除了libncursesw.so.5文件外的其他文件都在/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/目录下，因此，我在该目录中寻找libncursesw.so.5的类似文件，发现已经有了libncursesw.so.6，因此只需根据文章（error while loading shared libraries: xxx.so.x"错误的原因和解决办法）介绍的建立软链接的方法，就可以解决问题了，具体代码如下：

username:~$ sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.6 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.5

之后就可以正常启动cuda-gdb了：
