I used

find_package(Curses REQUIRED)
include_directories(${CURSES_INCLUDE_DIR})
Also added 
target_link_libraries(minimal_curses ${CURSES_LIBRARIES}
   ${catkin_LIBRARIES}
 )

It works for catkinmake. But does not work catkin build. I manually added lcurses by goting to ~/catkinws/build/mytutorials/CMakeFiles/listencurses.dir Then I edited link.txt in this folder. Added -lcurses to it. Then it compiled it. But rosrun cannot find it. Question is how to compile my curses programs with catkin build
