Now whenever I try to compile my program, I get various undefined symbols errors (such as move and refresh), depending on what curses functions I use.

Installing the ncurses library in Debian/Ubuntu Linux
- You need to install the following two packages:
libncurses5-dev : Developer’s libraries for ncurses
libncursesw5-dev : Developer’s libraries for ncursesw - Open the Terminal application.
- Type the following apt-get command to install ncurses header and libs:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
Sample outputs:

How do compile C program and use the ncurses library?
Create a test program called hello.c as follows:
First, make sure you install GNU/GCC C compiler on a Linux:
To link to the ncurses library pass the -lncurses option to gcc/cc command:$ cc -o output input.c -lncurses
$ cc -o hello hello.c -lncurses
Run it:$ ./hello
Sample outputs:
Here is another program:
Compile and run it as follows:$ cc -o curwin1 curwin1.c -lncurses
$ ./curwin1
Sample outputs:
