Can't find package.

Hi all, I'm trying to find a package or program needed in order to finish a manual source install for this site. They have their own program so they have their own dependencies. When I try to build the program I encounter this error..

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/user/Desktop/vpnclient'
ranlib libssl.a
ranlib libcrypto.a
ranlib vpnclient.a
gcc vpnclient.a -pthread -lrt -lm -lz libssl.a libcrypto.a -lpthread -ldl -lreadline -lcurses -o vpnclient
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lreadline
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [vpnclient] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/Desktop/vpnclient'

So I did the following ...

computer:/home/user/Desktop/vpnclient# aptitude search lreadline
i   tclreadline                     - GNU Readline Extension for Tcl/Tk         
computer:/home/user/Desktop/vpnclient# apt-get install tclreadline

After install i tried to make build again and got the same error. Any suggestions? I really need this program installed so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I've solved this.

apt-get install libreadline5-dev
