This sounded so interesting that I immediately downloaded it. But,
on trying to install, I get an error from the loader:

cc -O1 -g -Wall  -W -Wshadow  powertop.o config.o process.o misctips.o 
bluetooth.o display.o suggestions.o wireless.o cpufreq.o sata.o xrandr.o 
ethernet.o cpufreqstats.o usb.o urbnum.o intelcstates.o -lncursesw -o 
powertop
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncursesw
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [powertop] Error 1

I tried 'apt-get install lncursesw, but there's no such package.

What is the command again to find where these things (lncursesw) hide?

Thank you,

Nino
