Missing ncurses.h

Hi
I have downloaded 'shed', which is a simple hex editor, in source code. I am aware it is available using yum as a compiled application. When running ./configure of the downloaded code it errors out with an error:
<-------->

Can anyone tell me how to get 'ncurses.h' for F11 64 bit distro or how to direct the Makefile to a replacement. I am using gcc version 4.4.1. Thanks for any help you might provide.
