vim - Couldn't find package libncurses5-dev -

while installing vim 7.3 on ubuntu 10.04 lts, encounter error below

checking --with-tlib argument... empty: automatic terminal library selection

checking tgetent in -lncurses... no

checking tgetent in -ltermlib... no

checking tgetent in -ltermcap... no

checking tgetent in -lcurses... no no terminal library found

checking tgetent()... configure: error: not found!

  need install terminal library; example ncurses.    or specify name of library --with-tlib. 

and googled , found need install libncurses-dev, typed

$ sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev

package libncurses-dev not available, referred by

another package. may mean package missing, has been

obsoleted, or available source

e: package libncurses-dev has no installation candidate

when change libncurses-dev libncurses5-dev, got error

$ sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

e: couldn't find package libncurses5-dev

so happened?

thank you.

certainly solved , not related initial problem might :)

check have libncurses5-dev package installed

sudo aptitude search %p libncurses

---

this should give like:

i libncurses5 - bibliothèques partagées pour l'utilisation d'un terminal
libncurses5-dev - developer's libraries ncurses

which here means package installed

same result with:

find /usr -name "libncurse*"

---

if not:

sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

configure vim maximum options:

./configure --with-features=huge --with-tlib=ncurses
