It looks to me like you need to explicitly link against the ncurses
library to resolve those references.

Try changing the following line in Open-ILS/src/extras/Makefile from:

LDLIBS += -lreadline -loils_utils -lopensrf -lobjson -lxml2 -loils_idl

to:

LDLIBS += -lreadline -loils_utils -lopensrf -lobjson -lxml2 -loils_idl -lncurses

(and this assumes that the ncurses libraries are installed, of course!)

Just out of curiousity - did you use the Makefile.install to install
the prerequisites for CentOS using the centos target? I set that up a
few months ago but haven't had the chance to revisit it recently to
see how well it's working.
