  • I figure it out. Problem is I miss the ncurses library. It is a programming library providing an API that allows the programmer to write text-based user interfaces in a terminal-independent manner. just install all the newest ncurses library packages: "sudo apt-get install libncurses*" This works for me. – Janaka Pushpakumara Nov 25 '15 at 08:33

You have to install the development libraries:

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

and please don't use sudo apt-get install libncurses* or do you need all this packages?

libncurses5 - shared libraries for terminal handling
libncurses5-dbg - debugging/profiling libraries for ncurses
libncurses5-dev - developer's libraries for ncurses
libncursesw5 - shared libraries for terminal handling (wide character support)
libncursesw5-dbg - debugging/profiling libraries for ncursesw
libncursesw5-dev - developer's libraries for ncursesw
libncurses-gst - Ncurses bindings for GNU Smalltalk
libncursesada-dbg - Ada binding to the ncurses text interface library: debug symbols
libncursesada-doc - Ada binding to the ncurses text interface library: documentation
libncursesada3 - Ada binding to the ncurses text interface library: shared library
libncursesada3-dev - Ada binding to the ncurses text interface library: development

Probably not.
