I'm not sure about redhat. Chances are that
a.) you need a different version.
b.) you need a devel package
 On my debian I got these:
ii  libncurses5    5.2.20020112a- Shared libraries for terminal handling
ii  libncurses5-de 5.2.20020112a- Developer's libraries and docs for ncurses
ii  ncurses-base   5.2.20010318-3 Descriptions of common terminal types
ii  ncurses-bin    5.2.20020112a- Terminal-related programs and man pages
ii  ncurses-term   5.2.20010318-3 Additional terminal type definitions

probably the answer is b.
