Help with Installation.

[Madvayne]

Hello. Im new with ubuntu. I downloaded Horst 3.0 from http://br1.einfach.org/tech/horst/
unzipped the Tar file into a folder Horst 3.0. There is one file called horst.sh inside it which needs to execute for installation but after trying everything i could i'm still not able to execute that script. Things ive tried are:

./configure
./horst.sh
sh horst.sh

From both root user and my own user. I keep getting this error.

./horst.sh: 16: ./horst.sh: horst: not found

Any help will be appreciated. I need to install this tool on Ubuntu 12.04 - 64 bit. Thank you.

you need the required packages first for doing installation, like make & built-essential and to unzip like p7zip-rar

From the README


"horst" is just a simple tool, so "libncurses" is the only requirement (be sure
to install it's header files too). therefore building is as simple as typing:

$ make

Thank you. I installed ncurses and I was able to build/make horst after that.
