Hours of pouring through Dejagoogle haven't given me assistance (and
since the last question I asked ended up with me realizing I must have
had a screwy download to blame for my troubles, I'm asking you folks.)

Trying to get pdcurses working.

Unpacked the binary.

#include <curses.h>

int main() {
    initscr();
    return 0;
}

compiles file, but linking gives:

Error: undefined reference to '_initscr'

Similiar errors appear when other curses functions are called. I saw
an answer on google that boiled down to RTFM, but that ain't helpin'.

Please let me know what I'm doing wrong (or if one of the fabled c++
wrappers for curses is what I should be using in the first place).
