There is probably a ncurses-dev package for your distribution.  What you
really need is the ncurses header files in /usr/include as well as the
libncurses.a normally in /usr/lib.  Looks to me like you only have the
runtimes and not the development ncurses.  Find and install the development
ncurses for your distribution and you'll be all set.  This is one of the
reasons I like to build my own Linux distribution or use Slackware since
all the major Linux distributions never seem to want you to know how they
do Linux.  :-)

I'd recommend you get the ncurses development for your distribution since
it is important and it'll probably break their apps if you don't do it
their way.  It is too important.

See above.

Life is good,
