As others have pointed out you need the libc6-dev and libncurses4-dev
packages. You will also need the bin86 package if you are on a x86 box.
The best way to find out which packages these files are in is to go to
the Debian package search page at
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages.html. Then scroll down to the
"Search the Contents of the Latest Release" search and enter in the
files from above, such as sys/types.h. It will return a list of package
that contain those files. If you don't have them installed then they
need to be.
Enjoy,
