2012-09-13 10:38:53 balagopalan gundeboiana description Hi, iam a newbie to linux environment. Iam trying to compile latest VLC on my ubuntu machine using the help of http://wiki.videolan.org/UnixCompile. NCURSES is installed in my machine, also when i try to do a apt-get it says newer version is already available i get following error checking libtar.h presence... yes checking for libtar.h... yes checking for NCURSES... no configure: error: Package tinfo was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `tinfo.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'tinfo', required by 'ncursesw', not found. any help i greatly appreciated. regards, bala Hi,       iam a newbie to linux environment.
