The order that you specify things on the compile command matters, and
you've got yours in the wrong order.  Put -lncurses at the end after the
objects that use symbols from it, and it should work fine.  This matters
on the other systems too, but they are more forgiving of this error. 
That doesn't mean it's still not an error.
