You need ncurses development package. try:*sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev * -- Regards, Varka Bhadram.

On many systems, packages are split into two parts - the part needed to run already-compiled binaries, and the part that is needed to create new binaries using the libraries. Did you try taking the hint from the message and installing 'libncurses5-devel' (or whatever it may be called on your distro)?
for this when try to install "libncurses5-devel" i am getting these messages *Reading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency tree Reading state information... DoneE: Unable to locate package libncurses5-dev* On Tue, Sep 9, 2014 at 9:38 AM, <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> wrote:

Oh. apt-get based system. You have my condolences :) At least on Ubuntu, the appropriate command is: apt-get install libncurses5-dev

You need to find the actual package name for your system: apt-cache search curses | grep dev -- Greg Donald

It's possible he's missing entries in his /etc/apt/sources.list and/or /etc/apt/sources.d/* or wherever his distro puts such things. Of course, we're speculating, as he hasn't told us yet if it's Ubuntu or Debian or Raspian or some hipster distro nobody's ever heard of. He'd be better off asking a list dedicated to his distro where the ncurses5 development package for his distro is....
