You're welcome. Please, explain problem right away next time ;) You'll get more responses and faster conclusion.
As for issue you're experiencing. Please, try to instal readline and termcap packages(lib and devel; I'm not familiar with exact names) as well. I believe that's the problem you're having, although autoconf says it's only ncurses that are missing. Best regards, Z.
