Mac OS's approach to dynamic libraries is ... somewhat unusual.
AFAICT, the way things work there is that each library hard-codes a
(single) canonical installation location, which the static linker then
embeds in any executables (or other dynamic libraries) that link to
it. The runtime linker then proceeds to search for each required
library in, in order, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, the hardcoded per-library
path, and DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH.
(It's actually slightly more complicated than that because there's
also the concept of frameworks, but I don't believe it concerns
ncurses.)
