          Did you try what was suggested? i.e. libncurses-dev or ncurses-devel ? Not libncurses5-dev



          Which distro/version are you using?



          Looks like libncurses-dev is a virtual package which brings up libncurses5-dev in Ubuntu 16.04. Fedora 28 has ncurses-devel available in the updates repo.

          To install libncurses5-dev ,you should have the following line in your sources.list:



          deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main


          Run :



          # echo deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
