SUN/Oracle Solaris typically has two `curses' packages installed : traditional 
Unix `curses' and GNU `ncurses'. Cmake builds itself against headers of GNU 
`ncurses', but links with Unix `curses' with obvious result above.

To workaround, you could uninstall either Unix `curses' or GNU `ncurses' 
development package.

Where is the ncurses library?  From your cache it seems that it can not find

Bill, thank you for attending this. Only what I have posted (the final error 
message) is from my build :

...
Linking CXX executable ../bin/ccmake
Undefined  first referenced
 symbol        in file
wattr_on   CMakeFiles/ccmake.dir/CursesDialog/cmCursesLongMessageForm.cxx.o
wattr_off  CMakeFiles/ccmake.dir/CursesDialog/cmCursesLongMessageForm.cxx.o
...

It's identical to the error message of the topic starter, but I didn't look 
into the cmake cache. Here is a setup of the `curses':

  * SysV curses

    /usr/include/curses.h            # header (multiarch)
    /lib/libcurses.so*               # 32-bit libraries
    /usr/lib/libcurses.so* -> /lib/* # symlinks to above

  * X/Open curses

    /usr/xpg4/include/curses.h       # header (multiarch)
    /usr/xpg4/lib/libcurses.so*      # 32-bit libraries

  * GNU ncurses

    /usr/include/ncurses/*           # headers (multiarch)
    /usr/gnu/lib/libncurses.so*      # 32-bit libraries
    /usr/gnu/bin/ncurses5-config     # 32-bit config script

Even if it's not easy to guess `ncurses' libs here, it's still looks like a 
mistake to match ncurses headers to `libcurses.so'.

BTW,

    1. On Unix systems (which Solaris is) it's preferable to use native 
`curses', because it's mandatory, but GNU `ncurses' is optional. If other 
things being equal, why create extra dependency?

    2. /usr/sfw is one more place on Solaris where to look into when you search 
for non-Unix alternates, like `ncurses'.
