			If your server comes up with issues such as:

			you may have either a newer or older version of the Shared Object file.
			In such cases, it is warranted to create a symbolic link with that same name to the newer or older Shared Object file, with for example:
			sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.6 /usr/lib/libtinfo.so.5
			Of course, the location of these files could depend on your distribution of GNU/Linux; refer to your distribution's documentation on the location of the files.
