Subj : Complie errors with Ubuntu

I've used SBBS on and off over the past few years, and I have succesfully
compiled on several Linux distros before. However, I just recently switched
Ubuntu: Linux for Humans. I had to install CVS and several GCC components
manually via the Synaptic pakage manager. Synaptic claims that curses is
installed, but there is no curses.h file anywhere. (I did, however, discover a
curses.so file.) I think this is the cause of my compile difficulties, as the
list of errors I am given at the end of a nearly complete make seems to only
invovlve screen and key related functions. (I know, I should have a list of
errors handy, but it has been a few days since I attempted to comple, and the
list is lost. I will attempt later, and post them if anyone feels it can help.)

Stats:

Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog
350 Mhz P II (Soon to be 450 MHz P II)
RAM - Unknown
HD - 15 GB (Maybe; don't recall which one I stuck in the box. :-) )

Thanks for the assistance.
