[richard thiebaud]

Linux Mint 20.2 go version 1.16

I do this:

dick@dick2:~$ go get github.com/gbin/goncurses
dick@dick2:~$ cd src
dick@dick2:~/src$ go build test.go
test.go:4:2: no required module provides package github.com/gbin/goncurses: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules'
dick@dick2:~/src$ find ~ -iname goncurses
/home/dick/go/pkg/mod/cache/download/github.com/gbin/goncurses
/home/dick/go/pkg/mod/cache/download/github.com/rthornton128/goncurses
dick@dick2:~/src$

program source:

package main

import (
    "github.com/gbin/goncurses"
)

var scr *goncurses.Window

func main() {
    scr, _ = goncurses.Init()
    goncurses.end()
}

Either you don't have a go.mod file or it doesn't contain the goncurses package as a dependency. Have you run `go mod init`?
