Trying to configure asomewhat old satelite tracking program 
"Predict2.2...
the ./configure script claims it can't find either gcc or curses.h
gcc is obviously present and accounted for, but I'm not sure how to tell if
the curses library is installed.

presume it is a part of debian wheezy's normal install?
but general searches don't reveal a way of finding out, curses isn't, I
guess, a "package"

Thanks

Running:

aptitude show libncurses5-dev

should do it.

Hi

For  self-compiled programs you usually need  the dev packages, for 
example libncurses-dev on Debian.

Just to close my question, installed curses5-dev
and recompiled the satelite prediction program "predict" successfully.
Now I just gotta learn to understand the output
thanks all
