It's probably already installed as osx uses it. Just tell gcc to link to it: gcc -lncurses ...
Linker issues mean that you didn't invoke -lncurses when compiling. ncurses requires this, as well as other ncurses libs, i.e. to compile a c file using ncurses and the ncurses' 'form' lib you'd use:
gcc -o -lform -lncurses [file] [name]If using xcode the linker options are buried under project->build settings->all->other linker flags.
This works thanks
