OK, a quick check to see that I have the build-essential and

You shouldn't need `sudo` for the `make` portion. Just if you then
`make install` to directories that you don't own.

You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses.
Fine, let's do:
$ sudo apt-get install ncurses

Partly from the FAQ[1]... save yourself a bunch of trouble and do:
$ rpm -qf $(which vim)
$ sudo apt-get build-dep [whatever the prior command reported]
(or combined:)
$ rpm -qf --qf='%{NAME}\n' $(which vim) | xargs sudo apt-get build-dep
That will install all the prereqs you'll need to build the package from
source. (at least in the way your distro configures it)
