I'm trying to get this going on a Raspberry Pi Zero W starting with a clean install.

My first mistake ? was probably installing Raspbian Buster Lite and then doing a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade.

Then I tried to install PigPIO 68 but could only find the newer V71.  Installed that which seemed to go mostly okay except it complained about a missing loader at the end - I think that was a Python 3 thing so I pressed on.

(here's the error)

if which python3; then python3 setup.py install ; fi
/usr/bin/python3
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "setup.py", line 3 in <module>
   from distutils.core import setup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.core'
make: *** [Makefile:107 install] Error 1

...but doing

sudo ./x_pigpio

...it passes all the (numerous) tests.

Installed the latest mmbasic from the previous post in pi's home directory and chmod +x'ed it

When I try sudo ./mmbasic I get:

./mmbasic: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've tried ldconfig -v | grep -i 'libncurses' which finds the following three instances

libncursesw.so.6 -> libncursesw.so.6.1
libncurses.so.6 -> libncurses.so.6.1

libncursesw.so.5 -> libncursesw.so.5.9

Any advice gratefully received.
