You may have ncurses, but do you have ncurses-dev ?

In general, you need _development_ versions of everything that the
program you're compiling will use: packagename contains the libraries
needed to run executable using the package "packagename",
packagename-dev contains the include files etc. needed to compile them;
to compile and run you need both.

I've been told that running "apt-get build-dep <packagename>" will
install everything you need to build <packagename> yourself, but I'm on
openSUSE Linux myself, which uses a different family of software tools
(YaST, zypper, libzypp, etc.) to install software packages so I cannot
check it.

Human cardiac catheterization was introduced by Werner Forssman in
1929. Ignoring his department chief, and tying his assistant to an
operating table to prevent his interference, he placed a uretheral
catheter into a vein in his arm, advanced it to the right atrium [of
his heart], and walked upstairs to the x-ray department where he took
the confirmatory x-ray film. In 1956, Dr. Forssman was awarded the
Nobel Prize.
