ncurses is a package.  You either have it or you don't.  Creating symbolic
links will have no affect if its absent and will be of dubious value even if 
it is present.

The cygwin site contains no RPMs of Cygwin software at this time. If you 
have an RPM of some package that's supposed to work with Cygwin, check 
with the owner of the site from which you got the RPM.  They will be better
equipped to help you.
