Bug Description
Hi,
Iam trying to compile latest VLC on my ubuntu machine using the help of http://
NCURSES is installed in my machine, also when i try to do a apt-get it says newer version is already available
but when i do ./configure in my vlc folder.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.

to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'tinfo', required by 'ncursesw', not found.
any help is greatly appreciated.
regards,
