Can't install it in Ubuntu 18

[strogiyotec]

Goo day , I tried to install it in my Ubuntu 18.04 and it failed

What I did

git clone --recursive http://github.com/ardagnir/athame
cd athame
./readline_athame_setup.sh --libdir=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --use_sudo

Output

mv athame.o athame.so
rm -f libreadline.so.8.0
gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libreadline.so.8.0 -L./lib/termcap -Wl,-rpath,/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -Wl,-soname,`basename libreadline.so.8.0 .0` -o libreadline.so.8.0 readline.so vi_mode.so funmap.so keymaps.so parens.so search.so rltty.so complete.so bind.so isearch.so display.so signals.so util.so kill.so undo.so macro.so input.so callback.so terminal.so text.so nls.so misc.so history.so histexpand.so histfile.so histsearch.so shell.so mbutil.so tilde.so colors.so parse-colors.so xmalloc.so xfree.so compat.so athame.so -lncurses -lutil

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/user/athame/athame/readline-8.0_tmp/shlib'

How can I fix it ?

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses

You need to install libncurses-dev.

I had this error too:

rm -f libreadline.so.8.0
gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libreadline.so.8.0 -L./lib/termcap -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -Wl,-soname,`basename libreadline.so.8.0 .0` -o libreadline.so.8.0 readline.so vi_mode.so funmap.so keymaps.so parens.so search.so rltty.so complete.so bind.so isearch.so display.so signals.so util.so kill.so undo.so macro.so input.so callback.so terminal.so text.so nls.so misc.so history.so histexpand.so histfile.so histsearch.so shell.so mbutil.so tilde.so colors.so parse-colors.so xmalloc.so xfree.so compat.so athame.so -lncurses -lutil

Installing libncurses-dev solved it
