Something that might help:
bash has both emacs and vi key bindings, and I think it defaults to emacs,
SO if you know that you used 'ls -stuFF' many commands ago, you can

CTRL-R ls
and bash will search backwards in the history list for the last time you
used ls and instantly take you there.

There are deb available BUT if you insist on installing from sources:
The trick is to use the the 'ncurses' library instead of termcap.
You'll have to muck with the makefile to accomplish this.
Be sure you've installed the 'ncurses3.4-dev' package, which will give
you the appropriate headers
