Libncurses error

Dear everybody,

thank you for the exceptional work on this peace of software.

After updating to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS I ran into an error when trying to run the compiled version of brainstorm (brainstorm_200609):

There is a linkage error to libncurses.so.5 - it is not found on the computer.

Ubuntu comes with libncurses6 (which didn't cooperate), so I manually installed libncurses5
(sudo apt install libncurses5). After that brainstorm started without any problems.

Best

Thank you for sharing this report.

We will soon switch to a more recent version of the MCR for the standard distribution of Brainstorm, based on Matlab 2020a or 2020b. This will probably fix a lot of the future library issues with recent operating systems.

For other users who run into library issues with the compiled version of Brainstorm, you can try alternate compiled distributions available at the bottom of the Download page of the Brainstorm website.
