Scigraphica-termcap installation
Hi all,

I am trying to install Scigraphica on Ubuntu 8.10 and Termcap needs to be installed.
I cannot find or install Termcap by Synaptic package manager (sudo apt-get install does not work either).
I found in some forums that Termcap is not available for Ubuntu 8.10, and ncurses-dev was suggested instead.

I tried to install ncurses-dev, but it was not authenticated.

Is it really harmful? Any experience with that?
How can I get Scigraphica's configure script working?

Sorry, just a correction,

I used command
sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev

---------- Post updated at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous update was at 07:49 PM ----------

Ok. that's sorted now. I installed libncurses5-dev and the problem was sorted.

But now, it asks for XML-config, although I have pkg packages.

NAME

       unattended-upgrade - automatic installation of security (and other) upgrades

SYNOPSIS

       unattended-upgrade [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This program can download and install security upgrades automatically and unattended, taking care to only install packages from the config-
       ured APT source, and checking for dpkg prompts about configuration file changes. All output is logged to /var/log/unattended-ugprades.log.

       This  script  is  the  backend  for  the  APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade  option  and  designed  to  be  run	 from	cron   (e.g.   via
       /etc/cron.daily/apt).

OPTIONS

       unattended-upgrade accepts the following options

       -h, --help
	      help output

       -d, --debug
	      extra debug output into /var/log/unattended-upgrades.log

       --dry-run
	      Just simulate installing updates, do not actually do it

CONFIGURATION

       The  configuration  is done via the apt configuration mechanism, the default configuration file can be found at /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unat-
       tended-upgrades
