I am trying texttools from pegasoft but it won't compile.  I unpacked
it to ~/Download/texttools-2.0.5/
I looked at  C_code.c and didn't see what to change.  I think I have
ncurses5

I am using a virtual linuxmint 5 running under vmware workstation to
test this.

make gives me a lot of errors from curses.c: In function CKeyPress and
I'm getting a lot of undefined types.  
chtype
stdscr
too many to list.

I don't know what to do.
