Hello all,

I'm having a little trouble with the libncurses dependency on Ubuntu
Desktop 12.04 and Ubuntu Server 12.04.
It looks like libncurses5 is already installed by default. I went
ahead and installed the dev package: libncurses5-dev

$ dpkg -l | grep libncurses
ii  libncurses5                            5.9-4
            shared libraries for terminal handling
ii  libncurses5-dev                        5.9-4
            developer's libraries for ncurses
ii  libncursesw5                           5.9-4
            shared libraries for terminal handling (wide character
support

These are the only libncurses libraries in the repo. I tried
installing the libncursesw5-dev package too.

# apt-cache search libncurses

Using cmake I still get:

-- Could NOT find Curses (missing:  CURSES_LIBRARY CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH)
libncurses is missing on target. Skipping ifpps build.
-- Could NOT find Curses (missing:  CURSES_LIBRARY CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH)
libncurses is missing on target. Skipping flowtop build.

I've never had this problem before. I haven't been able to solve it
yet. Any tips?

Thanks
Jon
