If you make this change in configure.in, and start over (i.e. from ./autogen.sh), does that work?

"./configure" terminates with the following output:
configure: checking for tgetent...
configure: checking libcurses...
configure: checking libtermcap...
configure: checking libtermlib...
configure: checking libncurses...
configure: error: !!! no tgetent - no screen

This function does exist and the 1st test using libcurses should succeed. I don't know enough about autoconf to provide a patch but I do know that gcc is not being passed the LIBS option correctly. Specifically the -lcurses arg is not getting to gcc resulting in a link failure.

The following work-around got me past this issue:

env LIBS=-lcurses ./configure
