User Feedback :: ncurses library

i was try to install psybnc on my DSL and when I tipe: (make menuconfig) then everything stops saying: (This needs the ncurses library if it is not avaible, menuconf wont work)

i have the latest DSL install on my HD and saw on dsl home page link (packages) that ncurses-base and ncurses-lib are the packages that are currently in DSL

so how can I install ncurses?

Start up Synaptic and choose all of the ncurses packages and install them.

when i try to install the libncurses packages in Synaptic i cant mark them and it is said: broken dependencies

i have installed:
libncurses5
libncursesw5
ncurses-base
ncurses-bin
ncurses-hexedit

and the make menuconfig still dont work what shoud i do?!

Hmm...

Try opening up an xterminal and type:

sudo su
nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Then put a"#" in at the beginning of the "stable" line
and remove the "#" from the beginning of the "testing" line

Then save the file and exit and then type:

apt-get update
exit
exit

And see if you can install newer versions of the ncurses packages.
