*Note this is just a process I went through to get it working this MIGHT or MIGHT not help you. I wont be supporting anything below I'm lucky I got it working.
For starters I am on CentOS 6 64x box.. and other games are working great.
So i get this when i try to run:
[root@gamepanel 21]# ./mta-server
libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ERROR: Could not load ./core.so
* Check installed data files.
Press enter to continue...
Which lead me to the
You are missing a dependency:
libncursesw.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So on some further research I ran into http://pkgs.org/centos-6-rhel-6/centos-rhel-i386/ncurses-libs-5.7-3.20090208.el6.i686.rpm/download/
In which it turns out its already installed.... I looked further to see what else was needed and came onto http://bitnami.com/forums/forums/redmine/topics/libncursesw-so-5-error-on-mysql-install
Time long spent I ran the following to get some dependencies that were missing.
I used the following Just run all 3 some you might already have / dont need:
yum install compat-readline5-static
yum install readline.x86_64
yum install readline.i386
Also to solve the libsqlite3.so.0 startup issue
download this libsqlite3.so.0.zip and then upload the file to the root install folder where the "mta-server" file is. You will then need to run (I made a install and reinstall script to run this on install / start) so that the game will find the libsqlite3
run :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./ libsqlite3.so.zip
