Problem Building Festival(Text to Speech) On Ubuntu
-

Question
I set up a Ubuntu VM today Just to build Festival on Ubuntu (I never ran it before) Then I did the following setups
- On the Terminal window I wrote following to install GNU C++ Compiler
sudo apt-get install build-essential
To test the g++ i wrote a sample hello world and compiled it using g++ and run it and it worked as expected.
I downloaded all the files from listed on festival download page
Unpacked all to the home directory(~) using
tar -zxvf *.tar.gz
- Then wrote following 3 commands to configure and make speech_tools
cd speech_tools ./configure make
But make returns with following errors
/lib -leststring -lcurses -ldl -lncurses -lm -lstdc++ -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurses
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [ch_lab] Error 1
make: *** [main] Error 2
Can someone tell me what I am missing, being a newbie to Ubuntu or any other Unix platform i may missed some important configuration, before that I have successfully built festival on my windows machine using cygwin. Please help me its a kind of urgent.
Thanks a lot Mubashar

You probably need to install the development packages for libncurses
. Try
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
