configure script report missing ncurses library when it is already installed.


When I run the configure script for a program I'm trying to build I get an error saying "PACKAGE requires ncurses" but when I use yum to install ncurses it says it is already installed.

Code:
checking for wresize in -lncurses... no
configure: error: PACKAGE requires ncurses

~# yum install ncurses
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
Package ncurses-5.8-2.20110319.fc15.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
I tried using yum to reinstall the ncurses package, but that didn't fix the issue. I have ncurses-5.8-2.20110319.fc15.x86_64 already installed.

Does anyone know what might be the issue?

Never mind. Installing ncurses-devel fixed my issue.
