Re: [Samtools-help] compile help

Hi James,

Debian splits libraries into two packages, libXXX and libXXX-dev
(RedHat does the same but would typically append -devel not -dev).
The development package include the headers (*.h files) etc which
are only needed if compiling code to use the library.

In this case from memory I would try:

sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev
