configure error on Xubuntu 16.04.3 #14

Just installed Xubuntu 16.0.4.3 -- ./configure works fine with arguments except --enable-gui=qt. If I add that argument I get a seemingly unrelated tgetent error:

checking --with-tlib argument... empty: automatic terminal library selection
checking for tgetent in -ltinfo... no
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
no terminal library found
checking for tgetent()... configure: error: NOT FOUND!
      You need to install a terminal library; for example ncurses.
      Or specify the name of the library with --with-tlib.

Not sure why that's only checked when I add --enable-gui=qt..

ugh -- just realized that this fails not because I'm missing the function, but because I don't have a cpp compiler. The error message was misleading. Sorry!
