Since you use fedora then doing the following installs ncurses on fedora: First, go to rpmfind.net then search for ncurses and download the package according to your architecture. Then do the following to install the package:

rpm -i </Path/Package_name.extension>

Or alternatively, you can download the source code and compile it yourself by:

tar zxvf Ncurses_packageName.tar.gz
cd Ncurses_packageName
./configure
make
sudo make install

Fedora 16 is rather old, but if you can get to a workable yum server, you can install the ncurses-devel package to get the header files.
