See output below:

 $ apt-file search tgetent
libncurses5-dev: usr/share/man/man3/tgetent.3ncurses.gz

So - I would try installing libncurses5-dev 

You see the advantage of the advice I already gave you? If you compile
stuff blindly like this, you end up having to rerun ./configure each time
it complains about missing libraries ...

Once more with feeling  :   *grin*

Use the  tools!

This isn't even a full list, as I already have quite a few -dev libraries
installed. For instance

$ dpkg -l libncurses5-dev | grep lib
ii  libncurses5-dev 5.5-1ubuntu3   Developer's libraries and docs for
ncurses

So libncurse5-dev is installed  (  ii )

Of course, if you are determined to spend your life searching for
libraries, feel free ;-) I thought that was the kind of thing computers
were better at than humans....

Have fun !
