Help to install mutt-ng needed

[German Erlenkamp]

Hi there!

I want to try mutt-ng instead of mutt, because i have to manage
different IMAP-accounts.
So i tried to install it, but i got a problem: ./configure breaks with
the error-message "configure: error: no curses library found"

I need a library, thats what I understand, but which library? I tried
'aptitude' to get 'ncurses' but it seems that there is no such package.

Can someone give me a hint how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot!

You can install MuttNG from package, it's in experimental

(aptitude install mutt-ng)

use one of:
* aptitude search ncurses
* apt-cache search ncurses
* apt-file search ncurses
next time

mutt-ng package's maintainer was able to build it with following
packages:
libncursesw5-dev, libsasl2-dev, libgnutls-dev (>=1.3.5-1.1),
libidn11-dev, linuxdoc-tools-text, lynx, gettext, groff, dpatch,
automake1.7, libqdbm-dev, xsltproc, docbook-xml, docbook-xsl,
libgpgme11-dev

apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncurses5

apt-get install ncurses ncurses-dev

You want to use wide character version (ncursesw, ncursesw-dev). Else
unicode does not work -- and it should in modern systems.
