You would want another package ending in -dev not the ncurses-term. A quick search here would seem to suggest I would need to install libncurses5-dev to get the developement files. apt-cache search ncurses dev kernel-source-2.4.27 - Linux kernel source for version 2.4.27 with Debian patches libaca0 - The Advanced nCurses API -- development files libncurses5-dev - Developer's libraries and docs for ncurses libncursesw5-dev - Developer's libraries for ncursesw librote-dev - a simple C library for VT102 terminal emulation - development moc - ncurses based console audio player bochs-term - Terminal (ncurses-based) plugin for Bochs dav-text - A minimalist ncurses-based text editor kernel-source-2.2.25 - Linux kernel source for version 2.2.25 php4-cli - command-line interpreter for the php4 scripting language php5-cli - command-line interpreter for the php5 scripting language tcd - Portable CD player with an ncurses interface whiptail - Displays user-friendly dialog boxes from shell scripts ekg2 - instant messenger and IRC client for UNIX systems You would do the same search on your machine to see if the package is named the same in sarge. If you still get errors then you may want to install apt-file and use apt-file update as root then you can use apt-file search file/missing.? to find the package which contains the needed file then install it.
