Most likely you don't have the header (include) files installed which are needed for compilation, but not for running. They're in the packages with a "-devel" appended to the package name. Don't be surprised if you find other -devel packages missing too, happens regularly when compiling after installing a new system without full gcc/development/compiler support. You can't have a wrong version of ncurses on your system when you compile something from source.
