One of the most common ways source dists fail to build (on linux) is
when the linker fails because the shared library of a native dependency
is not installed. These errors are hard to understand when you're not a
c programmer:

We parse these errors out, tell the user about the missing shared
library and even the most likely debian/ubuntu package name:
```
This error likely indicates that you need to install the library that provides a shared library for ncurses for pygraphviz-1.11 (e.g. libncurses-dev)
```
