can't get zsh to compile on Ubuntu



I'm fairly new to Ubuntu, so maybe I'm doing something wrong here, but
I can't get zsh to compile.

I tried 'sudo apt-get install zsh-dev' but that only gave me 4.3.6

./configure fails looking for:

configure: error: "No terminal handling library was found on your system.
This is probably a library called 'curses' or 'ncurses'.  You may
need to install a package called 'curses-devel' or 'ncurses-devel' on your
system."
See `config.log' for more details.
[1]    23930 exit 255   ./configure

I tried apt-get install on (n)curses(-devel) but none of them exist.

Anyone have a clue I can borrow?
