ipython easy_install/pip error

Question

gcc is complaining with the following when trying to sudo easy_install readline:

Running readline-6.2.4/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-JEUNX3/readline-6.2.4/egg-dist-tmp-_THoHR
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncurses
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Am I missing some RPM dependency for a happy build environment?

Linux vbweb 3.2.22-35.60.amzn1.x86_64

Thanks!

Doesn't Amazon provide a `readline` package?! I swear, the more I hear about Amazon's AMIs, the less I like them. — Michael Hampton, Oct 19 '12 at 14:58

You need to install the ncurses development package: yum install libncurses-dev.
