libncurses5-dev is what I needed to compile Jasspa MicroEmacs from source on a
Raspberry Pi -- and libncurses5-dev contains /usr/include/term.h, which is
where tputs is defined...

curses / ncurses is the low-level tty cursor hacking library, commonly used by 
editors and such, using termcap for a terminal type lookup.
