Comment (by cetu86):

 You don't need to start over. You just need ncurses.
 I downloaded ncurses and cross compiled it for arm, then put it in the
 cross-tools' sysroot directory under sysroot/usr.
 Or I guess you could just copy ncurses from your existing installation on
 your raspberry pi. That way you can be sure you got the right version.
 Cause when you create dynamically linked executable, you have to have
 matching versions.
