Hope someone can please advise...

Got GCC/G++ running on my N900....

Now, I found that I need libncurses5-dev besides libncurses5 in order to compile an app that I want to use [Task, taskwarrior.org].

When I try to install libncurses5-dev, I get dependency error message that it needs libncurses5, but it lists the name of the specific libncurses5 version that I already installed and says that version won't work...

If I try to uninstall libncurses5 version that I already installed, I get message that a whole long list of other apps will be removed as well, 65MB worth...

So, wondered if someone can please tell me how to go about getting libncurses-dev installed without too much difficulty?

Thanks!
