Just tried to check out Beta 2 on Linux Mint 19.3 (= ubuntu bionic

libncurses6. Ubuntu 18.04 uses libncurses5. You need ubuntu 19.10 if
you don't want to go through the bother of backporting libncurses6.
By contrast the most recent daily snapshot build has been compiled
with libncurses5.
Unless there is something really necessary that only libncurses6
provides (and which doesn't affect the snapshot build), this is
going to limit the acceptability of Firebird 4. It would be good
idea to re-issue the binaries using the same compilation environment
as the snapshot builds.
Sorry - but sooner of all that means we need to upgrade snapshot
build env. We are going to make new version support first of all new
distros.
Is that really true? If you look at
https://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libncurses&searchon=names&subword=1&version=breezy&release=all
libncurses5 is supported in the latest Ubuntu releases. I would have
thought that while the packages built for a specific OS should use the
latest libraries, the general purpose downloads should be conservative
in their choice of support packages so that they work on the widest
range of systems.
Somewhy everyone is missing libtommath.0 ...
