applying these steps to CentOs 6.4:

getting error on make:

On Fedora/RedHat/CentOS, install the packages ncurses-devel and ncurses:

sudo yum install ncurses-devel ncurses

I’ve built an RPM version on package cloud : https://github.com/willgarcia/start-stop-daemon / https://packagecloud.io/willgarcia/start-stop-daemon?filter=rpms. Hope it helps!
