error: expat is missing or unusable

[Schilling, Walter W.]

Good afternoon.

I am attempting to build crosstool-ng 1.15.2 on Ubuntu 11.04.  WHenever I build the program, it gets to a point and fails with the following log:

Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l

I've looked in build.log, and I see the following relevant info:
[ALL  ]    checking for library containing waddstr... no
[ALL  ]    configure: WARNING: no enhanced curses library found; disabling TUI
[ALL  ]    checking for library containing tgetent... -ltermcap

However, when I run sudo apt-get install expat, it shows that expat is already installed.

Any suggestions.  I'm oh so close to being done with the cross build (I think).
