try this

have writable system
sudo cp libncursesw.so.5 /lib64
sudo shown root:root /lib64/libncursesw.so.5
sudo chmod 644 /lib64/libncursesw.so.5

do the same with libtinfo.5.so

sudo cp nano /bin
sudo chnod 777 /bin/nano

works on my CB great amd64 not sure if that will be a problem

You don't need to have a writable system if you place these files in /usr/local/lib64/ and /usr/local/bin/ instead of /lib64/ and /bin/.

  1. Anyone tried compiling a fat static binary, that is with all the libraries in the single self-contained binary nano executable file?
  2. I don't want to use root/developer mode yet, so I just copied the crew nano binary to my Downloads folder, but get terminal error I run it in termina
crosh> vsh termina
(termina) chronos@localhost ~ $ cd /mnt/shared/MyFiles/Downloads/
(termina) chronos@localhost /mnt/shared/MyFiles/Downloads $ ./nano-crew
Error opening terminal: xterm-256color.
(termina) chronos@localhost /mnt/shared/MyFiles/Downloads $ TERM=vt100 ./nano-crew 
Error opening terminal: vt100.
### The /etc/terminfo tree is well populated and looks ok to me...
(termina) $ ls /etc/terminfo/
a  d  l  r  s  v  x

I am guessing that error has something to do with ncurses support? Even if I fixed that error, I am guessing it would complain about missing so lib files, which is why I'm looking for statically-compiled binaries for nano and other useful utils like maybe busybox? ( Note top works at termina prompt... does top use ncurses?
