compile a unix program in linux environment

[poonam]

I have used a new header file called CURSES.H and my whole program is based on that header file.when i try to compile my program it shows me error "No such path or directory".What can be done?.A part of the program is given below
#include<unistd.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<curses.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<ctype.h>
void init_curses()
{
initscr();
getmaxyx(stdscr,LINES,COLS);
start_color();
init_pair(1,COLOR_WHITE,COLOR_BLUE);//for editor
init_pair(2,COLOR_BLUE,COLOR_WHITE);//for menu
init_pair(3,COLOR_RED,COLOR_WHITE);//for shortcur key
init_pair(4,COLOR_BLUE,COLOR_CYAN);//for welcome
init_pair(5,COLOR_BLACK,COLOR_RED);//for welcome
init_pair(6,COLOR_MAGENTA,COLOR_YELLOW);
noecho();
keypad(stdscr,TRUE);
cbreak();
}

Here are the types of includes, make sure you use the right one for it:
#Local dependent
#include "local.h"

#CLib dependent
#include <clib.h>

#CppLib dependent
#include <cpplib1.hpp>
#include <cpplib2>

In a terminal window:sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
"ncurses" an updated version of the older Unix curses library, and should provide all the functionality you need for that program.

After installing ncurses, compile your program with option -lncurses.

After installing ncurses, compile your program with option -lncurses.

Assuming he has a makefile that does "-lcurses" it will still work - the ncurses package creates a "libcurses.so" (which is a symlink to "libncurses.so").
