Ncurses library?

[Gaccm]

i want to do a make menuconfig, but it says i dont have the Ncurses library. This has happened twice to me, both on Debian boxes (doing advanced install). i tried apt-get installing ncurses, and it said that it was in another package, but i'm not sure which.

Try:

apt-get install ncurses-base
apt-get install libncurses5-dev

This is for the stable branch.

thanks it worked, i had ncurses-base already, and i din't think i needed the dev file (arn't devs needed if you do DEVelopment?) thanks again
