This really appears to be more of a question than a bug report, so I am going to convert it into a question.
Looking at the output from configure, it appears that you need to install the package: libtinfo-dev If you scroll down a bit in http://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile under the heading "The preferred method", there is a command: sudo apt-get build-dep vlc Which if you have the source repositories enabled (in software- properties-gtk make sure the Source Code box is ticked) should get you most of the libraries required to compile VLC. Hope that helps. ** Changed in: ncurses (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Converted to question: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ncurses/+question/208497 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1050341 Title: NCURSES not found while compiling VLC To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ncurses/+bug/1050341/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
