However, this do not seem to work. I set up the placement of libtinfo.so.5 but cqp do not find it anyway. Any suggestions? Other workarounds?

I'm not really a Linux programmer (any more), but AFAIK this approach should work.

Just checking: you did remember to "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH", didn't you?

And are you sure that /local/lib/libtinfo.so.5 is the correct library rather than a symbolic link to a non-existent file or so?  By Linux standards, it should be a link to the actual shared library in a file containing the full version number.  What does "ls -l /local/lib/libtinfo*" show?

Best,
