Howdy --
I'm trying to build mysql-3.23.49 on Debian (woody) box.
But keep getting the following error during configure:

configure: error: No curses/termcap library found


apt-get install ncurses returns:

Package ncurses has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
E: Package ncurses has no installation candidate

Debian does have an /etc/termlib directory?


Any suggestions, corrections?

TIA,
David
