You could have posted to my forum linked off the main page. I actually do read
and respond to it.

The error message points to the problem. picprg uses the curses terminal
library to do its job. You don't have it installed. A quick apt-cache
search points to packages that may do the job:
libncurses5 - Shared libraries for terminal handling
libncurses5-dev - Developer's libraries and docs for ncurses
Try apt-get on one of these and try again.
I apologize for not having a configure script. Truth be told I'm close to
declaring picprg obsolete and suggesting that folks use actively maintained
software such pikdev: http://pikdev.free.fr
Alian has done a phenominal job of working on this package and he has a
command line programmer pkp, which satisfies all of my needs.
Finally I do have an updated picprg version 3.01alpha which programs quite
a few more chips. However Microchip continual addition of programming
algorithms is the reason I'm considering retiring picprg.
Let me know if you're interested.
Makefile snipped for brevity.
