  Compiling fails with a missing ncurses.h message thus:

Install the ncurses-dev package.

Ok Patrick, I'll do that, thanks.  Funny that apt-cache search ncurses didn't 
show ncurses-dev.

This is your clue.

$apt-file search ncurses.h
doc-linux-ja-html:
usr/share/doc/HOWTO/ja-html/LFS-BOOK/appendixa/ncurses.html
doc-linux-ja-html:
usr/share/doc/HOWTO/ja-html/LFS-BOOK/chapter05/ncurses.html
doc-linux-ja-html:
usr/share/doc/HOWTO/ja-html/LFS-BOOK/chapter06/ncurses.html
libncurses5-dev: usr/include/ncurses.h
libncursesw5-dev: usr/include/ncursesw/ncurses.h
php-doc: usr/share/doc/php-doc/html/ref.ncurses.html

Looks like the ncurses.h header file is provided by either of
libncurses5-dev, libncursesw5-dev. Install whichever one you need.
