Here's my error. ncurses seems to be the problem.

error: failed to run custom build command for `ncurses v5.99.0`

Sorry I didn't have the dependencies. You can close this. The following solved all issues:

sudo apt install gcc pkg-config libncurses-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev

I'll add this to the "needs better documentation" list!

There we go -- I've updated the readme to clarify the dependencies needed and clarify the instructions for compiling.
