ld.so.1: more: fatal: libcurses.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory.
Cause
This can be due to several reasons:
- deleting the library by error
- corruption of file systems
- missing library package(s)
- wrong LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable
- wrong entry in configfiles /var/ld/ld.config or /var/ld/64/ld.config
- wrong version of 3rd party package
Checks:

i.e. ld.so.1: more: fatal: libcurses.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory.

Check shell/programs environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Please bear in mind that some applications require LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 variable, too
% echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
check default configuration of library with crle
The following two crle commands are for check only:
# crle
Default configuration file (/var/ld/ld.config) not found
Platform: 32-bit MSB SPARC
Default Library Path (ELF): /lib:/usr/lib (system default)
Trusted Directories (ELF): /lib/secure:/usr/lib/secure (system default)
# crle -64
Default configuration file (/var/ld/64/ld.config) not found
Platform: 64-bit MSB SPARCV9
Default Library Path (ELF): /lib/64:/usr/lib/64 (system default)
Trusted Directories (ELF): /lib/secure/64:/usr/lib/secure/64 (system default)
!! Pease be very careful using crle to expand the linker’s search path for a certain application. This can/will influence the rest of the system, too !!
Check existence and content of configfiles /var/ld/ld.config or /var/ld/64/ld.config
For details please see manpage of crle(1)
In normal cases, these files does *not* exist for good reasons. In case they are exist, please doublecheck whether the entries in these files are *really* required
Exceptional case is a Solaris 9 branded Zone with entries
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/secure/64/s9_preload.so.1 in /var/ld/sparcv9/ld.config
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/secure/s9_preload.so.1 in /var/ld/ld.config
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check the full path of missing library.

In case the missing library is part of a third party SW or drivers,
- please check with vendor for recent version of software
- check whether the third party SW or drivers are compatible with the Solaris release and patches applied on system.
For Solaris 10, please see MOS document 1591106.1 (Items to Consider when Adding a Solaris 10 Package to an Existing System using pkgadd)

we cannot provide a generic solution.

Adding and Updating Oracle Solaris 11 Software Packages: Fixing Package Problems
Installation/replacement of a package is much more difficult in Solaris 10 (and earlier)
Basic rules for addition/replacement of libraries in Solaris 10 ( and earlier )
- do not replace libraries on live system
- consider to restore from recent backup
- don't mix binaries and libraries of different packages/patches

ld.so.1: more: fatal: libcurses.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory.
Cause
This can be due to several reasons:
- deleting the library by error
- corruption of file systems
- missing library package(s)
- wrong LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable
- wrong entry in configfiles /var/ld/ld.config or /var/ld/64/ld.config
- wrong version of 3rd party package

Example:
# devfsadm
devfsadm: dlopen failed: /usr/lib/devfsadm/linkmod/SUNW_scmd_link.so: ld.so.1:
devfsadm: fatal: libclconf.so.1: open failed: No such file or directory
use 2 terminals to troubleshoot this:
terminal1: Start the dtrace onliner or opensnoop script from DTraceToolkit as shown below
terminal2: start the command ( i.e. devfsadm )
// simple dtrace oneliner ato capture all open() systemcalls
# dtrace -n 'syscall::open*:entry { printf("%s %s",execname,copyinstr(arg0)); }'| egrep -i lib
dtrace: description 'syscall::open*:entry ' matched 2 probes

In case the missing library is part of a third party SW or drivers,
- please check with vendor for recent version of software
- check whether the third party SW or drivers are compatible with the Solaris release and patches applied on system.
For Solaris 10, please see MOS document 1591106.1 (Items to Consider when Adding a Solaris 10 Package to an Existing System using pkgadd)

Adding and Updating Oracle Solaris 11 Software Packages: Fixing Package Problems
Installation/replacement of a package is much more difficult in Solaris 10 (and earlier)
Basic rules for addition/replacement of libraries in Solaris 10 ( and earlier )
- do not replace libraries on live system
- consider to restore from recent backup
- don't mix binaries and libraries of different packages/patches
