php: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.6

Really nice project!

I will try to deploy with now my slim api projet.

now.json

{
    "functions": {
      "public/*.php": {
        "runtime": "now-php@0.0.8"
      }
    }
  }

composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "php": "^7.3",
        "slim/slim": "^4.3",
        "slim/psr7": "^0.6.0",
        "vlucas/phpdotenv": "^4.0"
    }
}

I got this error log on my now instance :

Any tips?

I’ve discussed it with @styfle and problem is in building phase.

Build container during building phase uses AL1 (amazonlinux:2017.03.1.20170812). That’s the problem. PHP 7.4 is compiled for runtime container running on Amazon Linux 2.

Only installing Composer dependencies is affected. Not the runtime (I think). Using prepacked Composer dependencies might work for now.

First things came in my mind are:

• use prepacked dependencies (for now) and put composer.json in .nowignore file
• use PHP 7.3 for installing composer dependencies
• somehow compile PHP 7.4 for AL1 and use it in build phase
• build special lambda for installing Composer dependencies, take composer.json|lock, send them there and download dependencies (vendor)

Any other thoughts?

Could you guys @AGDholo @ebauger @kolyasapphire test this setup?
