The ncurses headers live in /usr/include/ncurses.  Normally this means
that you need to arrange for -I/usr/include/ncurses in CFLAGS, which
should be done by the autoconf macros that you use to detect curses
libraries.

However, the libncurses-devel postinstall creates a symbolic link from
/usr/include/curses.h -> ncurses/curses.h, so even if your CFLAGS is
wrong the above test should work.  If you don't have that symlink then
your install is borked.
