Thanks a lot coderJeff. I have quite a code base for the SharpBASIC compiler, entirely written in FreeBASIC, so I'll be happy to test it. It probably won't be long before the freebasic package in the Manjaro repo will be updated.

@Jeff,

The table of #PRAGMA documentation page is missing from the 'manual.chm' and 'manual.html' at least, due to an additional terminal semicolon in the table definition.
This is now fixed and the 'St_W's manual.chm' is now OK.
Can you re-generate the new documentation files for version 1.09.0 released, overwriting all the old ones ?

@coderJeff

I am amazed at your patience. Collecting so many packages and testing them is a very tedious job. Thanks for your hard work!

On Manjaro x64 I get an error when trying to execute FBC:
fbc: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Interestingly, FBC version 1.08 seems to be running with libtinfo.so.6 in the /lib and /lib64 folders. I suppose FBC 1.09 tries to find libtinfo.so.5 because that's the lib version on Debian/Ubuntu?

It's done now and uploaded to sourceforge.net

Make a symlink to libtinfo.so.6 named libtinfo.so.5 ... and launch ldconfig. As root user, of course.

Yes, but I wanted to inform the developers of this issue.

Yes this has been brought up before. The answer is that nearly all distros ship a ncurses compatibility library that supplies this older version of the library. On Manjaro, look for a package called ncurses5-compat-libs. Might need to us an AUR for that. Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, all offer a similar package.
