mutt installaiton error on CentOS 6.7 - centos

Question

I'm trying to install mutt on CentOS 6.7 and ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local runs fine but at make install step, I run into this error below that I don't know how to solve. I tried with mutt 1.6.1 and 1.6.0 and this same error came up so it's probably some system setting that wasn't correct. How could I fix it?

OK, I somehow fixed it.. not really understand why this fixed it.
After configure, in the Makefile, change the LDFLAGS = line to LDFLAGS = -lncurses -ltinfo, then make install and it solved the issue.
