I heard you saying the "would be before that" bit as I copied and pasted it
but, as it was, nothing before that looked like an error message.  I
started with the first thing that did.  :)

That must be a fairly new one as I did not need it when I compiled last on
3/14.  Here is the kicker... I went to that page, made sure I had
everything installed.  Ubuntu Bionic Beaver LTS apparently does not have an
install candidate for that one.  I thought maybe the 'w' was a typo, and
almost warned you of as much in another message I forgot to type up and
send.

So, I have libncurses5-dev installed... that 'w' in the package name correct?

Thanks!
