[Evergreen-admin] Installing opensrf

I am very new to Linux and to Evergreen (I took an Ubuntu class and ran it on my laptop several years ago). Loved it then but it is driving me crazy now. Server is a bit of a different animal and I have been looking forward to the opportunity to work with it and learn it.

For whatever reason, mgmt. delayed purchasing hardware for this project for months, but is now in a rush to get this project done. I am struggling thru the installation. I am currently trying to install opensrf and following the instructions from evergreen-ils.org. I am currently attempting to install prerequisites and I cannot run the "./configure -prefix=/opensrf -sysconfdir=/opensrf/conf"  command successfully.

I ran "chmod +x configure" and tried the "./configure..." again.   That got me past the first error but I got a new error "apxs not found". I ran "aptitude install apache2-prefork-dev apache2-threaded-dev" to get past that error and ran the "./configure..." command once again. I got another error "opensrf requires ncurses development headers".

Where can I find "ncurses" downloads (and instructions!!!!)?  Is there a missed step or possible mis-configuration on my part causing all these errors?
