libncurses-dev should be libncurses5-dev

Hi,

should be fixed in SVN 374.

The sqlite should be optional - Elias, there is a

#include "apl-sqlite.hh"

in ResultValue.hh - that looks wrong.

execinfo is a separate lib on some platforms and part of glibc on others.
It is OK if the test for it fails.

Greetings,

I installed GNU APL on raw LinuxMint 16 and 17 and came up with the following differences from what is stated in the README-1-prerequisits file.  Note that since LinuxMint is built on to of Ubuntu, Ubuntu installs should be the same.

1.  Although ./configure worked out-of-the-box without warnings, APL did not build.  It failed.  In order to get it to build, I had to install the following packages (which were not checked/verified by the configure script, but are _required_):

    texinfo

    g++

    libsqlite3-dev

    (should probably install sqlite3 too)

Note that requiring sqlite3-dev is a surprise.

2.  The list of suggested packages given in README-1-prerequisits is incorrect or out-of-date.  It should be:

    liblapack-dev

    libreadline-dev (or libreadline6-dev)  - there is no libreadline5-dev

    libncurses5-dev - there is no ncurses-dev

    libpq-dev (if PostgreSQL support is desired)

3.  I noticed that the system can't find library execinfo.  Where is that?  (What package might that be in?  I can't find it.)

Thanks.
