When trying to compile the latest version of lftp I get the following error when trying to build. Ubuntu 18.04

 lftp_tinfo.cc:40:3: error: #error No header file for tigetstr or tgetstr found. Install ncurses-dev or termcap-dev.
 # error No header file for tigetstr or tgetstr found. Install ncurses-dev or termcap-dev.

I tried: ./configure (compile with with gnutls, or ) ./configure --without-gnutls --with-openssl (compile with openssl) make -j$(nproc) sudo make install

Figure it out. This post https://github.com/lavv17/lftp/issues/58 sudo apt-get install ncurses-dev That fixed the issue.

The next issue was Make.in.in wanted "0.19" for GETTEXT_MACRO_VERSION. Then I needed to edit ./po/Make.in.in and change the macro version to "0.18"

Compiled after I did that.
