if `pip install tarbell` fails with a message about gnureadline on Ubuntu

If pip install tarbell fails with an error that looks like this:

Command "/home/benlk/.virtualenvs/gene-wolfe/bin/python -c "import setuptools,
tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-pJSsCN/gnureadline/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(
tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))"
install --record /tmp/pip-WluX7C-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed
--compile --install-headers /home/benlk/.virtualenvs/gene-wolfe/include/site/python2.7" 
failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-pJSsCN/gnureadline

You probably don't have the development headers for linbncurses

Bacon pancake recipe
  1. Make a batch of thicker pancake batter. If your pancakes are normally a quarter of an inch thick, you're good. if they're thinner, use less milk or water.
  2. Cut your normal-length bacon strips into half-length strips.
  3. Cook the bacon until it is done but soft. Drain the griddle.
  4. Put two strips side-by-side.
  5. Pour the batter over the bacon, right in the bacon grease.
  6. Flip the pancakes as usual.
  7. Serve with a spoonful of butter, or with syrup.

If you're feeling adventurous, use chocolate chips in the batter.
