The GCC compile command is sensitive to the order of the arguments

$ gcc -o prog prog.c -lncurses and $gcc -lncurses -o prog prog.c behave differently. The latter one will fail according to the comment to his question and this entry in GCC doc.

It makes a difference where in the command you write this option; the linker searches and processes libraries and object files in the order they are specified. Thus, ‘foo.o -lz bar.o’ searches library ‘z’ after file foo.o but before bar.o. If bar.o refers to functions in ‘z’, those functions may not be loaded.
