Comment(by judahj):
It seems that ncurses was changed recently (?) to allow splitting off the
terminfo-specific functionality into a separate library. The fix should
be pretty simple; just edit configure.ac and change
AC_CHECK_LIB(ncursesw, setupterm, HaveLibCurses=YES; LibCurses=ncursesw,
[AC_CHECK_LIB(ncurses, setupterm, HaveLibCurses=YES; LibCurses=ncurses,
[AC_CHECK_LIB(curses, setupterm, HaveLibCurses=YES; LibCurses=curses,
HaveLibCurses=NO; LibCurses=not-installed)])])
adding an extra line to try tinfo first, and otherwise fall back to the
above curses variants.
Unfortunately, I don't have a system with libtinfo to test this on. Can
someone please confirm whether that fixes the problem?
