That was the same trap I stumbled into!

URPMI is great but urpmi said I have already installed everything
concerning kernel-source. And I thought so, too. I checked all the
appropriate packages during installation. I checked "Development" and
never unchecked any package in the single selection. So, if
libncurses-devel is regarded as relevant to kernel-source it should
have been installed.
Except libncurses-devel was not installed.
Also, I was used to look in Softwaremanager for missing packages and I
thought it should start with 'n' for 'ncurses', So I did not find it.
BTW, on that occasion I also cursed about having split the
Softwaremanager in 2 apps.
