Known issues with the LUMI software stacks

All versions

• Some SUSE-provided tools may not work when the ncurses module is loaded.

  This is because SUSE delivers a heavily customised ncurses library and we do not know how they did the customisations. It also contains some versioned symbols info for ancient versions that is not included automatically anymore with more present ncurses libraries, even when asked to include versioned symbols in the shared objects.

  For gdb a workaround is to start it using

  LD_PRELOAD=/lib64/libncursesw.so.6 gdb
  

  which forces gdb to use the libncursesw from the system and keeps it happy.
