SamTools installation in Ubuntu

[Gaya_binf]

Hi
I am trying to compile SamTools on Ubuntu 13.01 ( dual boot on macbook pro). But when I am trying to run "make" its throwing me the following error. I tried all the solutions available on the forums but it fails to work. Can someone please suggest what to do?The error is:

gcc -c -g -Wall -O2 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_USE_KNETFILE -D_CURSES_LIB=1 -I. bam_tview_curses.c -o bam_tview_curses.o
bam_tview_curses.c:5:20: fatal error: curses.h: No such file or directory
#include <curses.h>
^
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [bam_tview_curses.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/Downloads/samtools-0.1.19'
make: *** [all-recur] Error 1

$ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

Should do it or install libncurses5-dev using the software center.

Thank you so much GenoMax. It works now SamTools is compiled.
