Hello > /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses Perhaps the packages you have installed did not use the libcurses.
The libcurses is a basic octave libraries that should be included the package. So your octave system unfortunately seems to not to have the libcurses. What is the platform (OS)? Is the octave pre-built bainary or build by yourself ? If the latter such a phenomenon should not be occurred. I think you are are using the prebuilt binaries. If so please ask package manager to ask the place of libcurses. PS. Symbolic package requires extra external libralies, the ginac and the cln. In building process pkgconfig command used and the setting for pkgconfig command should be set properly. Have a good luck.
