    I believe you need package ncurses-devel.

    I installed libncurses5-dev on Ubuntu 14.04 to fix the issue - as I received the same error message.



    I ran sudo rm -fR autom4te.cache in the same directory, Makefile was then created, then smooth sailing.

      This answer suits well for those needing to install ncurses also from source, also in a local folder:




      • Download ncurses: wget "https://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ncurses/ncurses-6.1.tar.gz"


      • untar tar zvxf ncurses-6.1.tar.gz and enter folder



      • Install as in:



        ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
        make
        make install




      • before making the same for screen, export this as:



        export LDFLAGS='-L$HOME/local/lib'
        export CPPFLAGS='-I$HOME/local/include'




      • go to screen untar folder



        ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local
        make install &&
        install -m 644 $HOME/screen-4.6.2/etc/etcscreenrc $HOME/local/etc/screenrc

        You need to install libncurses5-dev and then try your configure -> make process again.



        Exec this command:
