Ncurses is not in some systems by default, if u don't have it or don't wish it, just desactivate it in the Makefile.
Comment the two lines concerning Ncurses

#NCURSES=-DNCURSES 

#LDFLAGS=-lncurses

If u are about to use Ncurses with a poorly featured terminal/non color terminal, u may better do by recompiling in a standard mode (without ncurses) otherwise resulting screen may be somewhat weird.
The real gain with the library merely reside in the presentation layer (color/animation/screen layout).
However it's as u want, i prefer with.
