Hi Guy,
Your package is almost working, the important thing was to specified
"ncurses" as an input like you did.

Yes, I guess they are doing some kind of symlinking. To make it work,
you can replace -lcurses by -lncurses, this way:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#:phases
(modify-phases %standard-phases
(delete 'configure)
(add-before 'build 'curses
(lambda _
(substitute* "src/makefile"
(("lcurses") "lncurses"))
#t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
You also have a small mistake here
> #:make-flags (list (string-append "prefix=" (assoc-ref
^
prefix should be upper case.
Then, you should be able to build your package ;)
