seems that a GNU ncurses library didnt install:
I tried-
$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-5.7.tar.gz
$ tar xzf ncurses-5.7.tar.gz
$ cd ncurses-5.7
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/ncurses
$ make
# make install
$ ls -la /opt/ncurses

and got no opt/ncurses
dnascopev@ubuntu:~/ncurses-5.7$ ls -lt
total 1621
